Teachers shouldn't have to write off school supplies because they shouldn't have to buy school supplies in the first place.
Teachers are employees, not business owners.

Addressing the teacher shortage shouldn't involve lowering criteria to be a teacher--it should involve supporting teachers, paying them, and providing the resources needed to best serve students.

Educators do not get paid for the school breaks.
Their paycheck can be evenly distributed throughout the whole year.
It is unpaid time off, not a vacation.

Giving teachers hardly any time in their rooms after they return to get ready for the school year might suggest that they were supposed to be preparing for the school year during their unpaid time off.
If we want educators to work during the summer, pay them for their time.

There's a nurse shortage...let's lower the qualifications.
There's an engineering shortage...let's lower the qualifications.
There's a pilot shortage...let's lower the qualifications.
If this sounds illogical, how does it make sense for teachers?

If teachers have it so easy and get so much time off, why is there a massive teacher shortage?
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

One of the hardest parts of being an educator is the lack of down time. You have to be on all day long. This is mentally and physically draining.

I have been a teacher.
I have been a principal.
I have been a district administrator.
All jobs in education are really tough, but the hardest job minute-by-minute is teaching. Hands down.

Not every kid had a great winter break.
Not every kid felt safe.
Not every kid felt supported.
Not every kid felt loved.
For some, school provides much more than content.

We talk a lot about what schools and educators need to do to increase achievement, but very little about what students, families, the community, and society needs to do.
The responsibility must be shared.

Memorization is not in the top ten skills needed in 2020.
If school is about preparing students for the future, we need to shift our focus.

We shouldn't start preparing kids for college when they are 5. We should be helping them learn to be a good friend, play with others, and love learning.

Teaching assistants, bus drivers, daycare teachers, custodians, and support staff deserve to make way more than near minimum wage.

Students are not adults--they need help with time management, study skills, prioritizing tasks, social skills, character development, etc. Instead of assuming immaturity or irresponsibility, assume they need help.

Asking teachers to remember their "why" can be viewed as blaming teachers for losing their passion for teaching instead of working on improving the conditions that actually burn them out.

Being a patient does not qualify you to be a doctor.
Being a passenger on a plane does not qualify you to be a pilot.
Watching a movie does not qualify you to be a director.
It seems like we should have the same rationale for educators.

Educators are not burning out because they need to do better at self-care.
Educators are burning out because of how they are being treated, what is being expected of them, low levels of respect, etc.
Maybe we wouldn't need as much self-care if we addressed the other issues.

Memorization is not in the top ten skills needed today.
Yes, we need knowledge, but we also need to consider that we have instant access to so much information.
If school is about preparing students for the future, we need to shift our focus.

My daughter showed her kindergarten teacher a book with drawings she made.
When I picked up my daughter from school she told me how excited she was to make more books because her teacher told her that she could be an author and illustrator.
What teachers do matters.

Kids will remember very few rules and procedures from their first days of school, but they surely will remember whether or not they feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed by their teacher.
Focus on relationships before rules.

You are not qualified to be a professional educator because you know some stuff or have experience in something.
Teaching is an art and a science.
It is an actual profession.
