They get to school early and stay late. They work to ensure everyone, from the straight-A student to the one struggling to get by, receive the care, attention and education they deserve.</div><div><br></div><div>They dig into their own pockets to corral supplies for their classroom, yet often take second jobs to make ends meet. It's a shame they struggle when they play such an important role in our children's lives.</div><div><br></div><div>Teachers in Idaho deserve a fair return on their work and the resources to support their students.</div><div><br></div><div>Our political leaders need to recognize what teachers contribute. It's time they fund our public schools and provide teachers with the means to achieve high-quality education so every student in our community can learn, grow and thrive.</div><div><br></div><div>Mary Bostick</div><div>Moscow</div></div><div><br></div><div>———————————————<br><br><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
