Educators, parents, students and community members in Miami-Dade and Broward counties are joining together to reclaim the promise of public education. This important effort is co-sponsored by the American Federation of Teachers and National Education Association and is a vital step forward for our schools in South Florida. Educators, parents and community members are working together to provide all students with the opportunity to attend quality public schools. Equal access to a public education is a right that should be afforded to all students. We cannot expect our students to succeed if they do not have the right tools to do so. I.ve been working as a teacher and lawyer for many years, so I know firsthand the obstacles teachers and students face every day. There is no simple solution for our public schools’ challenges, but one thing is for sure: We must all work together in order to better our schools. There is no time to waste because the future of schools and students is on the line. We must all get involved now. Educators need proper teaching resources in order for students to achieve. Just like in other careers, educators should receive ample opportunities for professional development. South Florida teachers and support staff are doing the best they can, but we need everyone to actively participate in the educational process. Florida receives the least amount of funding for public education compared to nearly all other states, but that will never stop our drive for success. We still have hope for our schools and students because the nation.s public education system makes up the foundation of our future.
