    Kamala Harris' big new thing: In Texas today, she'll call for an unprecedented federal investment in raising teacher pay. Good message for a female dominated, heavily unionized profession.https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-kamala-harris-teacher-pay-20190323-story.html …

        So true! I'm a teacher because I love it, but it's time to raise esteem for teachers because we shape the future & devote ourselves to America's children! #Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris #kamala2020 #mamala #KamalaHarris #Harris2020 #TeachersMatter @SenKamalaHarris #election2020pic.twitter.com/QzxFXknfN3

        My brother is a semi retired teacher in a part of California that has become so gentrified that new teachers can't afford to live there. ☹️

        It’s also a GREAT message in Texas, which has cut state support for public education by 16.2% from 2008-2018. Now take this show on the road to states like Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina and others who slashed education funding while also cutting taxes.pic.twitter.com/WacgzLbvRT

        The three big issues for me are single-payer health care, environment, and public education/research.

        As a teacher who started the year Bush and Kennedy gave us NCLB and watched in horror as Obama/Duncan remade education into a neoliberal nightmare with RttT, consider me skeptical the Harris plan will be anything other than more federal overreach/bureaucracy.

        No doubt about that whatsoever. It does raise visibility on the issue of how underpaid teaching is because "women's work" always is.

        Overdue. Certified teachers all have post-undergrad educations; equivalent to an MBA.
