"I work in a public school, because my children go to a public school and are getting an amazing education!"
"I work at a public school, because I feel I may be able, in some small way, to make a difference in someone's life. I may be a "light" the students see."
"I work at a public school, because after my family and religious community, teachers and coaches from public schools had tremendous impact on my life at very important times. I was incredibly lucky to cross paths with some great teachers and coaches who actually cared about me as a student, athlete, and person. I honestly do not know where I would be today if not for some of those wonderful people who entered my life at just the right time."

"I work in a public school to personally witness the time, love and commitment the community (parents, teachers, staff, etc.) puts into our children. My grandfather was a principal for many years and he continued to support children long after his retirement. He always taught us to be lifelong learners and what better way to continue to learn than through teaching."
"I work in a public school, because I believe that all students deserve to have a quality education and to have a community that cares for them."

I work in a public school because . . . "My dad was a teacher in a public school. I have always grown up in a public school and could not imagine teaching somewhere else. I think it gives us a chance to work with many different types of students from many different backgrounds."
Some of our teachers are sharing this week why they teach at a public school. One teacher wrote: "I work in a public school to be a part of something bigger than myself. I am a member of a community, and we collectively live and work together to enrich all of our lives."
