Midterm Elections 2018

It is time that the adults listen to the teachers because they know and they see it all. Teachers are the ones who see the kids daily sometimes for more hours than their parents. The teachers are the ones who see the bully in the schoolyard making fun of others and calling people names. The teachers tell that bully to cut it out and don’t do it again. Trump needs a teacher to tell him to stop the bullying. Teachers are the ones who tell kids how to spell and write with correct grammar. Most Trump supporters never learned that to well.

There are over 50 teachers who ran for political office in this Midterm Election. Why were there so many teachers who decided to be political? They decided to run for political office because they are not stupid. They are educated and are educators. They are sick and tired of being last on the list. They don’t get paid a decent wage and most often have to supply their students with basics like books and pencils out of their own pocket. They don’t have adequate health care yet the health care providers’ are very wealthy. Teachers have said that they should finally just get up and do something about all that isn’t being done for the American people. Like they care for their students, now they care about all Americans.

Teachers are now leading the way because it is the teachers who see it all. When a   child   attends   school hungry, it is the teachers who see that and must do something about a child’s hunger. When families have to choose between health care or food or rent, because the minimum wages hasn’t risen in the past ten years, teachers see it. They see a parent struggling to be home for their children but have to work endless hours for not much money per week.  When politicians tell teachers   to just shut up and teach, it is the not so stupid teachers who see their own mistreatment. Hopefully the rich people who now govern who have no experience in the fields that Trump has given them ruling and policy power will now from this election will learn how to govern from teachers who just got elected and who know the streets and homes and children of America like no other people on earth.

It is the teachers who remind us all about the lessons that must be remembered from real history. They remind us of the Civil War that divided this great country over slavery. They remind us that prejudice must never be tolerated in a good society. It is the teachers who remind us of the fiscal crisis of the Great Depression where the stock market crashed leaving millions of hard working Americans penniless. The greed of big corporations only investing in their own salaries and corporate stock. The teachers remind us that we must learn from history to never repeat the mistakes of our past. It is the teachers who remind us of World War II where millions of Americans died fighting the NAZI invasion of all of Europe. We must never allow NAZI’s rise in this country yet they are right now.

The teachers remind us that Regan told Germany to “tear down that wall” and allow peace and prosperity reign to all of Germany. Now our Dictator in Chief in America is striking fear in our hearts believing that only a wall between people is the answer for humanity to exist. It is the teachers that know right from wrong. If they get elected or not, America will always need teachers and America must listen to them.
