The Whole Truth & Nothing But the Truth, So Help Me Teachers! Teresa Thomas

Who will be the voice of Truth in a world where jobs are few and low-paying? Who will boldly say, "I am not getting the proper resources to do my job, yet everyone expects me to perform at the highest level with the lowest support." Education has become the dumping ground for all of society's issues. Teachers are the lowest paid yet responsible for our most precious resources: humans. In this riveting, authentic and timely anthology, eleven courageous educators come together to share their truths in and outside of the classroom. Teachers are people too. They have lives too. They have demands as well. But as a nation, their truths are often hidden, pushed aside, forgotten about and ignored. Here's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: our future, our education, our economic system, our world depends on the education system. And teachers are the nucleus of this system that produces engineers, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, professors, and any and every other profession that keeps this world operational. It is high time for us as a society to pay homage to those who literally give their all and their last for the sake and safety of our children. Hear our truth. Hear our pain. Hear our voice. Hear our cry. We are Teachers. We are You. You are Us. And together, we can heal nations. Only if and when we tell the TRUTH.
