Imagine you are at work and realize that you are in need of something very important to your success at this job.\u00a0 You go through the proper channels to acquire this item but at every turn are told that this essential item is not truly essential to the job.\u00a0 Some might say, well just get it yourself and move on.\u00a0 Well imagine again that this happens with EVERY item that you need.\u00a0 This is the life of some teachers in this country especially in the most needy of districts.<\/p>\n
These districts are also the ones with the highest achievement gap.\u00a0 Parents can only provide so much for their children.\u00a0 For some it is a matter of buying clothing or buying the books, notebooks, pencils, markers etc.\u00a0 Clothing is a bit more important.\u00a0 Imagine even further that the situation is choosing between clothing and housing.\u00a0 School supplies do not even enter into their consciousness.<\/p>\n
Teachers provide for these students because we set our students up to succeed in life.\u00a0 The kids are not the ones that have put their families into these situations.\u00a0 They are just collateral damage.\u00a0 The $250 that teachers can get back via taxes yearly only chips away at the mountain we spend out of our own pockets.\u00a0 Every little bit back helps us to provide the best possible education for the future of our country.\u00a0 By doing away with this help, it impacts those who are the most vulnerable in our country, the children.<\/p>\n
Please help to make sure that our future has an actual future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11948,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","petition_category":[32],"petition_topics":[137,168,169],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/petition\/5086"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/petition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/petition"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5086"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"petition_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/petition_category?post=5086"},{"taxonomy":"petition_topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charitablehumans.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/petition_topics?post=5086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
