Same here. I've been working in education for 30 years here at humble ISD and I've seen it all go downhill thanks to Abbott and the Republican legislature who didn't see education as a priority. We are now 41st in the nation. PATHETIC! So many good teachers have quit over past few years. And it's ridiculous that you have such little money that you have to hang advertisement signs on the fences of your schools and on the sides of your buses. What an embarrassment. Teachers are some of the lowest paid in the country and the pension is ridiculous. Gina's win is a win for both our students and our teachers.
