Annually, there is an increase in Federal & State mandates requiring "Highly Qualified" educators where additional specializations are required or face loss of job. These programs can take years & cost thousands. With an increase in job expectations, more time is spent away from their own families, taking classes, staying long hours & working evening & weekends just to keep their job. Many educators have lost or are struggling to keep from losing their homes. In many states, politicians make promises to support education, but once elected, a series of budget cuts take place & the working educator is charged "to do more with less." School districts already have teachers who give 100%, now they are told to "give 110%." Please help educators find relief. Not in 10 years, but now!
