Where is Superman?...Right here! There are Hundreds and Thousands of them! They are Public School Teachers!

I  AM a teacher.

I am NOT married to a Hollywood star.

I do NOT have millions of dollars in financial backing.

I am NOT a professional documentarian.

I AM a teacher.

All over this great country we exist to teach, nurture, and inspire.

Why do producers, politicians, and billionaires take such a myopic view of what is working and what is NOT working in education? They do this because they are ignorant.

If you have NOT walked in a present day teacher's shoes for even a week, your mouth must remain shut, your camera and mic should remain off, and you should make documentaries on subjects less complex, like the uses for Monarch butterfly larvae.
