I was at the Side Track Restaurant in Depot Town (old Ypsilanti) this past weekend enjoying some great stuffed salmon (by the way.....it is a great restaurant and reasonable!). I found the new edition of the Eastern Echo, Eastern Michigan's student newspaper, sitting there with this headline: "Teachers do not get enough credit". HAD TO READ IT!
We all need to read MORE editorials that are thanking teachers! Click on the link below to take you to the online version of the Eastern Echo article! Enjoy!

About Me
- Tfitzjake
- I wrote this introduction 6 years ago, and it is even more important today than ever. The voices of educational employees need to be heard above the roar of public school attacks in this country. We are on the front line; we are highly educated and trained professionals. Why are we being ignored? I am an educator. I was the president of the Walled Lake Education Association for over 6 years, and before that, the treasurer for 8 years. I have been on the bargaining team for 15 years. I am now the MEA UniServ Director for 7K and parts of IJ. I want our voice to be heard! Today's educational climate requires that we all stay informed regarding the issues affecting our chosen profession!
