In New York City, the 2022-2023 school year is about to start for teachers who potentially will face another year of school budget cuts, large class sizes, staffing shortages and––in many places––newly minted, first-year teachers.
led to a wave of resignations at the end of the last school year. And then the city’s education budget cuts meant some schools could no longer afford some of its teaching professionals and had to get rid of extracurricular programming offerings.
“We have spent months, months working on the teacher shortage and making long term and short-term proposals,” Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers , told thewhen asked what the AFT is doing to support its members this coming school year: “The No. 1 thing that we can do, that doesn’t cost a dime, is to advocate for the respect and dignity that educators need to help kids and that is part of what we are doing in this ‘What Kids Need’ campaign that we have launched.
Most kids returning to school this year struggled to learn during the pandemic––especially in the spring of 2020, when school buildings initially shut down and thousands were forced to resort to virtual instruction. But Curts says she remains focused: “Mainly I think the thing that keeps me in [education] is feeling like, you know, the future of our students and of our profession and of public education/public service is something that I really, really want to fight for.
