As the holidays are swiftly approaching, I thought it would be
a good time for educators to come up with a list of things to hope for as we
enter the New Year.
Please feel free to add additional requests.
1)
Always #1- Peace around the world
2)
That Congress will retain the deduction for
teachers out-of-pocket supply expenditures.
3)
All students who are “Dreamers” should be
allowed to complete their education without fear of deportation.
4)
Issues of social justice and tolerance need to be
a part of every curriculum.
5)
There should be public support for those who
have the courage to come forward and discuss issues of sexual harassment
6)
The teaching
profession should be recognized as that occupation that prepares students for
all other occupations and not degraded by others.
7)
School districts and states should honor collective
bargaining agreements.
8)
Better methods need to be established to
evaluate student learning
9)
Politics needs to be removed for the textbook selection
process
10)
We hope
that 2018 will be a successful year for teachers and students
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year
