@Dave_Orphal I don't want a politician to tell me how to teach 5th grade better, I want to learn from other 5th grade teachers.
@L_Hilt The best thing about being a teacher is it matters. The hardest thing is that it matters every day.

Larry Allen 3:26 pm | 23 Mar CTA is democratic, with a small D. CTA supports Republicans who support public education, historical fact.
