Educators deserve balance. But a new @RAND.org report shows that most teachers struggle to find work-life balance, and too few school districts are taking steps to help. Smaller class sizes, more planning time, and supportive leadership make all the difference.
Report: Schools Must Prioritize Teacher Work-Life Balance | NEA
A new survey finds educators face more job intrusion and job flexibility issues than other working adults. There are more than a few ways school districts can help address this imbalance.

Reopening the government is a basic job duty for the party in charge.
No one should have to choose between providing their families food or healthcare. Yet Republicans are determined to deny both—they put politics over people. They must end the shutdown without robbing families of basic needs.
