If I could, I’d tear down the walls between schools and communities. Not symbolic ones — real walls, the ones that keep parents out and keep us teachers trapped inside broken systems. I’d give every school the budget of a private one, elected parent-student-staff councils with real power, and mandate they spend it on books, meals, and safety, not police. Autonomy means nothing if it’s just handing us the keys to a burning building. My kids deserve to learn where they’re seen, fed, and free. That’s not radical — that’s basic.
