Today’s episode of Standing Tall features excerpts from a series of conversations between Representative Johnson and teachers from across Knox County about their virtual and physical experiences in the classroom so far this year. They are overwhelmed and overworked, and nervous about the prospect of being evaluated under current circumstances. If you have the chance, thank a teacher for what they are doing - they are wearing even more hats than they usually do, and are severely under-compensated for their work.
