Until the US realizes that we will continue to lose as we miseducate our children, forget about play and measure success by tests- our society of illiterate people will continue. That means we can be manipulated by a few and the caste system promulgated.

Thank you Sen. Harris. As a daughter and fiancée of teachers, I see how being over-stressed and under-values really harms teachers, and affects burnout. They deserve better. So do the kids.

I teach at the college level with a graduate degree. I work overtime most of the year. I cannot afford dental care. Nearly 30% of my wages, which are below minimum wage when averaged for unpaid overtime, go to insurance and student loans.

I think less standardized tests and less pushing of the sciences or other "practical careers" on students would be a better and healthier curriculum.
