Back to school

It is that time of year where teaches are back in the trenches at school. They hope that this next legislative year will be better than the last. It is imperative for teachers across washington state to voice concerns that education funding should be the paramount duty of the sate. With decreased funding and more mandates given to teachers it amazes me that more teachers don't leave the profession and look for greener pastures. The reason why teachers teach in the first place is because they cherish the students they work with. I just hope that Olympia will realize this and strengthen the teaching profession with dedicated funding.
