  • Burger King vs. Teaching: One Man’s Choice

Justin Ashley a fourth-grade teacher at Charlotte’s McAlpine Elementary School (and NC Social Studies and NC History Teacher of the Year), wrote to House Speaker Thom Tillis. He concludes his letter:

Great teaching is the golden ticket for our schools.  Teachers are the solution.  Help us help our kids.  Hold on to great teachers right now before it’s too late.  Create opportunities and incentives that attract new teachers for the future.  You have the keys to the door.

Learn how a great teacher chose his career path and why he is concerned about the direction in which legislators are taking public education.

Read the entire letter.
