Come on, Kevin!

Yesterday, Kevin Stitt recommended all state employees to start subbing in our schools.  Everyone was up in arms.  Some people yelled, “There is no substitute for the real teacher in the room.”  I think it is because Stitt has been such an enemy of public education that it is hard to back anything he puts out about schools.   However…

I was talking to my friend and future senator/congressman/former teacher/wise beyond his years much my junior, friend.  He said, “Look, it doesn’t fix the long term problem of the sub shortage, but it is better than nothing.”

I agree.  Although I fully support Joy in her run for governor, a short term fix is better than no fix at all.  So, send the state employees, send the congressmen and women, send Kevin himself.  You will find a beautiful, teacher funded classroom, with beautiful sub plans already on the desk.  You will find rosters, seating charts, extensions of the learning to help set you up for success.  You will get an inkling of what a public educator goes through on a daily basis, and you will want to write legislation to fund Oklahoma classrooms, give teachers raises,  and heaven forbid treat them as the professionals they are, and finally let them in to help write your legislation that affects them and their students.

So, Come on, Kevin, come get you some!
