The Issues
I'm an experienced educator from East Tennessee. My children went to Blount County Schools from Walland, to Heritage Middle, to Heritage High.
I want to ensure that all students are welcomed and that we teach them the best ways we can.

The Issues
I think we need to trust our teachers. We underpay and overwork them. People want to micromanage the materials they have in the classroom by banning books and messing with curricula. They want to force them to teach to standardized tests. It feels like everyone wants to look over their shoulders and not trust them as professionals. Meanwh

They want to force them to teach to standardized tests. It feels like everyone wants to look over their shoulders and not trust them as professionals. Meanwhile, students are forced into boxes and suffer anxiety and poor mental health. I think we need to make a change.
