In this Aug. 20, 2020, photo the Utah House of Representatives convenes for a special session of the Legislature at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City.It seems like just yesterday that teachers, administrators and other educators were being hailed as essential workers and modern-day heroes for pressing on during the pandemic to protect the health and safety of students and to provide them with educational programs in person and on-line.
Nevertheless, schools held together and in no small way helped to get our state and nation back on track. There simply is no scenario in which this is the right thing to do, nor is this political drama appropriate given Utah’s persistently low per-pupil funding, and the fact that many teachers are simply giving up and leaving the profession.
Likely, there is not one of us who has not had their lives improved by the work and example of a teacher. In my case I can name a dozen. As Horace Mann once said: “Teaching is the most difficult of all arts, and profoundest of all sciences.” Therefore, teacher pay is essential to recruiting, recognizing and retaining the best teachers our children deserve.
