Got in an Uber yesterday.
The driver, Mrs. C., was an Arizona science teacher who has been in the classroom for 33 years. 🧑🏽🏫🏫
Here are quotes I typed as she told me about her day job:
“I’m in the trenches every day. It’s not enough to get by- so I Uber at night.” 🚙

On buying classroom supplies 📝 out-of pocket:

On getting by as an underpaid teacher: ‼️

On this #RedForEd Wednesday, it’s clear AZ is still failing our kids & teachers like Ms. C.
Prop. 208 was passed to directly invest in our schools. Now, the @AZHouseGOP & @AZSenateGOP is actively trying to undermine voters and further divest $300 M from our kids.
