Sorry, just playing devils advocate. Not necessarily a Trump supporter. I couldn't/didn't vote for him.
I came through OK. I hope you will also.
My problem is that I have a masters in teaching. It's the only thing I can do--and the only thing I want to do. And I really don't want to teach at a private school. I don't want to be beholden to the almighty dollar when it comes to educating kids. It goes against all my principles. I'm also concerned about my kids--because if public schools go under, I don't want to have to choose between private schools to send my kids to because there's too high of a chance i choose the wrong one. Especially looking at For-profit universities like University of Phoenix and Trump
University.
My passion for Public Education is what drove me to become a teacher in the first place. So my concern for public education goes beyond even just my job and my kids.
I'm sorry that you lost your job, though. I know some people lost their jobs because of the ACA and employers cut their hours to the point where they couldn't live off of what they were making. My husband lost his job--but because of new technology that put his company out of business. I'm glad you came through okay.
