QUOTES FROM ANGELA

  • “Teaching is different in different places, but if you have a really strong union, you can do some pretty shitty things and still have a job, with the exception of, actually physically harming children.”
  • “Because the schools are underfunded, teachers have to go into their own pockets. Because the school's underfunded, they don't have enough resources or therapists or special, teachers, specialized teachers, so that falls on you as, the classroom teacher.”
  • “Asserting yourself starts with knowing what it is that you will and won't do, what you want and what you don't want.”
