A Great Profession: Consider Teachers’ Needs

November 28, 2021 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

During this troubling time when we should be helping each other through one of the roughest patches we’ve faced as a nation, teachers have become scapegoats, blamed for everything involving social change and Covid-19.

August 7, 2021 By Nancy Bailey 2 Comments

A worrisome rise of the Delta variant in children across the country has raised concerns about mask refusal and school safety.

It’s What President Obama Didn’t Say about Education in the State of the Union Address….

January 29, 2014 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

The president, of course, could not speak about all the following disputes in one State of the Union Address. But the problem is he rarely speaks about these issues with the American people. There is little, if any, discussion or debate. The president might be surprised to find not everyone approves of his education policies. […]
