Important piece written by my former teacher @michaelburges12. In my first year in the classroom and I see the tsunami coming if the legislature doesn't take dramatic action to support SC teachers 🍎📢

Without needed changes, the current flood of teachers leaving the profession will soon be a tsunami. thestate.com/opinion/article…

Some exciting news: I’m running for the Kershaw County Soil and Water Commission this fall.
As a farmer, hunter, and outdoorsman, I know that when we take care of the land, the land takes care of us.
If you live in Kershaw County, I’d appreciate your support and your vote.

Listen to the radical dreams of students. It is energizing, inspiring, and transformative. The quickest way to work toward equity is to slow down, listen, and be led by those who have eyes for the things we don’t yet.

Every single school should be working to figure out how to double plan time for teachers.
The US requires more instructional minutes from teachers than almost any other country in the world (Argentina and Chile are the only two higher than us).

Healthy and free school lunch is public health because public health is more than our healthcare systems.
It’s about access to healthy food, vaccine equity, clean water air and so much more. 🍎
