✊🏻in solidarity with the public school teachers in Arizona as they start day 1 of their walkout. Why are they striking?: * In 2017, Arizona spent $8141 per pupil which is well below the national average (NYTimes) * The average teacher salary is $48,372 which is also well below the national average, forcing many teachers to work 2 to 3 jobs to pay off student loans and cover their expenses (NYTimes) I’ve worked to support public school teachers across the country for the past 13 years, and the conditions that Arizona public school teachers face or among some of the worst. There’s a reason why US News and World Report ranks Arizona’s K-12 education 48th in the country: our state’s education budget has not been fully funded in YEARS which is resulting in teachers being deprived of the professional development, materials, resources, and supplies they so desperately need. Our schools are understaffed, our teachers are overworked and under paid, and none of this serves Arizona’s children. #REDforED #istandwiththeteachers #ifyoucanreadthisthankateacher #notallheroeswearcapes 📚🍎📓📝
