The DOE - My Story
What's your story? #dayofaction #AFTprotectourkids #AFT #APSCUF @aftunion.bsky.social
I grew up in a small town where all schools received Title 1 funding (and still do). Because of these funds, my schools (and teachers), although small, were able to prepare me to attend college and do well. Then, as a first-generation college student, I received Pell Grants to help fund my undergraduate degree. As a result, I was able to graduate without taking out any student loans. Not only did these grants allow me to earn a bachelor's degree, but not having immense debt upon graduation allowed me to purchase an apartment in New York City on a teacher's salary and pursue graduate degrees. I also taught in schools that relied heavily on Title 1 funding, so my former high school students were provided with multiple services such as reading specialists, special educators, meals, and after-school activities. These services allowed me to do a better job as a teacher than I could have without the extra support for my students. Now, as a professor at WCU, I'm proud that many of my former graduates are teaching in Title 1 schools. Thus, most of my life has been impacted by the DOE. We are facing a devastating time in our country to see the DOE funding in jeopardy.
