Bernard Sanders: “Public school teachers should not be forced to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet.”

If we are serious about the need for a bright and hopeful future for our Country, we must understand that the children, the young people of this country are our future.

I thank you for the opportunity to testify before you on behalf of the Academy of General Dentistry.

For decades, public school teachers have been overworked, underpaid, understaffed, and maybe most importantly, underappreciated.

This country does not survive unless we have the best education in the world for our kids, we're not going to compete economically.
