Teachers are so much more than their curriculums. They should be supported, not scrutinized.

Except for one letter, my handwriting and cursive are trash. That’s not the fault of my educators, I simply never mastered the clean look many others did in school. I had other things to learn anyway. I was a sucker for history, science, reading and writing. All the things. School was my refuge from the hard reality of childhood. From all the traumas, one would secure scoring a whopping 9 out of 10 on my Adverse Childhood Experiences score. School and teachers were my guideposts, and I knew education and the classroom were vital to anything that would come in my future.
