What Mariah Morris said in her perspective that appears on EdNC.org was both needed and welcome. As a recent winner of the NC TOY award, she has been an incredible voice for classroom teachers during her tenure on the State Board of Education and has used her platform as a positive space for public education advocacy.

And I bring forth these questions because my public school experience that spans approximately 15 years leads me to believe that teachers instruct, we lead, we love, and we care for our students. But we don’t indoctrinate our children.
