Teaching has always been my passion. But through the years, our nation has lost its way regarding what public education is and what it should be. The pressures are growing more overwhelming with each passing day, teachers' joy of teaching and children's joy of learning are dwindling away, more and more teachers are choosing to leave the profession, and more and more parents are choosing other alternatives to public school education. I wrote Overcoming the Challenges of Being a Teacher to be a voice for teachers and our nation's children, to shed light on the 'REAL CHALLENGES" in public school education, to provide essential tools to help educators overcome rather than merely survive, to inspire teachers to stay true to what our true purpose and mission should be, and to spread hope for a better today and brighter tomorrow. My book is A MUST-READ FOR ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION'S CHILDREN—especially anyone who aspires to be a teacher, who is or has been a teacher, and/or who is a school administrator, parent, school board member, or legislator. Because it takes a village to achieve meaningful change. Join the endeavor to do what's right in education and to do what's right for future generations.
