Much of America is heading back to the classroom, and today, that includes First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.
The 2021-2022 school year has just begun, and headline after headline continues to paint a pretty grim picture of what is normally an exciting time for America’s teachers and students. Sarah Martin Bell, an 8th-grade social studies teacher in Horry County, South Carolina, says she felt a range of emotions heading into the school year. Just after reporting to work last month, Bell tested positive for Covid. Despite being fully vaccinated, she could not leave her bed for days.
Bell says she feels lucky to have no lasting Covid symptoms, lucky to have colleagues who were willing to show up when she couldn’t, but is feeling the strain of yet another difficult school year. She, like many other educators, took notice when Biden headed back into the classroom today. “One of the main proponents of teaching is to lead by example, and that is exactly what she is doing,” explained Bell. “She is not only telling teachers that she supports us, but she is showing us every day.
As any good teacher knows, it’s important to read the room, and Biden has done just that. She knows that teachers are under immense stress at the moment. She knows the coming weeks could very well change every carefully plotted back-to-school plan. Above all, she knows that the world watched today when she went back to teaching live and in person and utilized that spotlight to shine a light on the teachers who didn’t go back with any fanfare.
Biden. “Someone is standing a little taller because you helped her find the confidence she needed. People are kinder because you showed them what that meant. Your strength and resilience, your creativity and kindness, are changing lives and changing the world.”
