Back when I was teaching ten years ago…The political climate was not as divisive as it is today…
We did have some autonomy…And we did strive for that balance of the mandatory curriculum…And those creative fun activities….
February was one of our favorite months filled with creativity…Teaching Black and Presidential History; with those fun Valentine activities…where creative writing was essential…
As a retired teacher...I regarded our school climate...as all of our school personnel, as a family...
And with all of the issues of today, that concept is extremely important more than ever…
Principals and Our Administrators…Need to remember that….
And, especially all those Politicians who have never been in our classroom…
It really is all about our precious children…
Being together is essential for that love and care that our precious children need in order to feel safe and having the right motivation to learn….
Being that Teacher Today…It’s all About our Precious Children…

Why it is so important…
Her husband Frank Towers was a World War II hero…
Frank Towers, a U.S. officer who helped liberate 2,500 Jews from a train bound for extermination at the end of World War II…
He spent much of his later years sharing his story
Even contacted some of the people he had helped save, and either met or spoke to more than 200 of them before his death at the age of 99…
“for the sake of humanity”…
Power of Teaching, the importance of the study of History, and especially the lessons we must learn, and teach, on the “Holocaust”

According to our Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida is the Education State…
Florida Department of Education (@EducationFL) Tweeted:
Florida is putting students first…
Today… September 14, 2021… @GovRonDeSantis announced the end of the FSA, the elimination of Common Core and a plan to provide real-time results for educators, parents and students…
Now the Reality...
Our schools are in crisis 2024…All the divisiveness created by this DeSantis government, affecting our children and schools causing many of the critical issues; teacher shortages …Book bans that restrict learning and curriculum issues where our children can not learn our history ….Gun and safety issues…etc..
Our precious children are not getting their needs met…That many may be dealing anxiety and fear…Even hunger due to his lack of expanding Medicaid…
We must Take Florida back…This is not our State’s Election Year, not until 2026!!
This issue is extremely close to my heart...
Our precious children come to school with such hope and innocence…And in these most challenging of times, they must feel loved and accepted…
Reflecting on my own personal history, I understood how important this was…
Growing up myself during challenging of times post World War II…
I had a difficult time being accepted… Being Jewish, parents divorced…. my sister mentally challenged…
All I wanted was to be invisible…
My heart can so understand how important it is for our precious children to be accepted…
As for myself, I was blessed by junior high, where I felt acceptance with a close group of friends… especially with a dear close friend…Whose family even took me in when my mother died when I was a senior in highschool…
My Hope for this New Year… This be the year we accept those who may be unique and special…A year of Inclusion
May this be the Year of Our Precious Children…
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊
We truly have an opportunity to move forward with that strong focus on our precious children…This being a critical election year…We must be vigilant and reelect President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris…
Here in Florida we may not be able to vote Governor Ron DeSantis out, yet!!
However we must speak up and speak out…And be ready to”Take Florida Back “…2026!!
Our precious children's future here in Florida are depending on our vote for their future...
The time is Now…We must make this happen…Our precious children’s future is depending on a Strong Public School Education… Accepting of the Truth of Knowledge… Diversity…Loved and Safe

Tis the Season of Giving…Yet, my heart is grieving…My many years of teaching young children of diversity…
Just a few of the myriad of issues of today affecting our precious children:
Divisiveness in the Leadership in government affecting their education and safety…book bans, prejudices…gun safety…
Conflicts in the Middle East… World Hunger and Peace….
I Will Hold Onto Hope For Their Future...
