A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
'Teaching is like a bad marriage, you never get your needs met, but you stay in it for the kids.' — This teacher resigned on the spot during a school board meeting with this impassioned message.
In US news and current events today, teacher Amanda Coffman resigned on the spot during a school board meeting and delivered a powerful message to her former students.
Coffman is a former teacher at Indian Woods Middle School in Kansas. She says she resigned because she felt ‘silenced’ when Shawnee Mission School District issued teachers new 3-year contracts.
Coffman says the contracts don’t address the concerns or needs that the teachers have fought for in the past.
