Democrats the Education Party? Stop Promoting that Message

November 3, 2021 By Nancy Bailey 18 Comments

I’m sorry Democrats didn’t do better last night because they might be somewhat better for public education. Maybe they will regroup and come back stronger for real public education and teacher support. Last night during the election results, the media portrayed Democrats as the education party, but for years Democratic policymakers have turned on teachers […]

There’s One Choice Concerning the Delta Variant: Protect Students!

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. Politicization with contradictions and poor messaging by both political parties creates a dangerous scenario for children. Americans must work together and be realistic about the dangers of this illness to children, not make promises that […]

The 12 Point Covid-19 DISCONNECT Between Teachers and Those Who Want Schools Open Now!

February 4, 2021 By Nancy Bailey 7 Comments

Pressure is being placed on teachers to return to in-person classes. Here’s why that’s a problem. 1. Precautions The CDC  and Dr. Fauci and President Biden want all schools to return to in-person learning with precautions in place. But precautions are exactly what many schools often lack. Teachers know best whether or not precautions are […]

Are We Being Duped? Why Not End Tax-Supported Charter Schools?

July 11, 2016 By Nancy Bailey 13 Comments

I just returned from Washington DC where I marched for Save Our Schools (SOS), and where I was honored to speak on a panel with two individuals whom I respect as experts about special education needs. I mingled with many great educators and parent activists who I consider friends. We stood side-by-side to support great […]

Teacher Concerns about Age Discrimination and the Teacher Shortage

August 29, 2015 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

Many teachers raised concerns about age discrimination relating to the current teacher shortage after a recent post. I gathered what I had learned and I have added additional information. I also provide links at the bottom to other important articles about this topic. It is important to state that older teachers want to encourage young […]

Better Prepared Teachers? Coffee Chat with Arne and Andrea

April 27, 2014 By Nancy Bailey 1 Comment

The other day I watched  Andrea Mitchell interview Arne Duncan. It’s always difficult for me to listen to authorities on teaching who have never been teachers, or who have never even studied what it takes to be a teacher. When they bloviate what the government needs to do to make good teachers, I want to […]

The education “report” released yesterday is a brochure produced by a non-VA company who’s entire goal is to remove money and students from public education.

We need to invest more into our public schools now, not less, to provide a quality education for every student in VA.
