Significant changes have indeed occurred, and what was feared has come to pass with Donald Trump as president. I am deeply concerned about the future of our children…
I am extremely concerned with the violence impacting our schools… Now with social media challenges, parents even acting out, and of course #gunviolence…
Law enforcement agencies are currently conducting operations to apprehend undocumented individuals at schools…
Finally…The oversight of our public schools will no longer be centralized under a single agency, as the Department of Education is undergoing a dismantling process.
Children have most definitely been dealing with so much…We as adults must do better for our children…
We have had such a chance up to now…Our President, Biden, and Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, have provided the necessary resources and funding for our schools… The Build Back Better Act will provide money for early childhood education…and support to parents…
Yet, many of us were not supportive of these efforts…Our children today, more than ever, are struggling, and it really is up to the adults in the room to be better for our children…
