Hi there,
I have two boys—ages 15 and 12—whom I love more than words can express. But they’re loud, often smell, and keep me busier than there are hours in the day. Finding time seems like a train speeding away that I will never catch.
By the time I’m done working for the day, I dread hearing the phrases: “I’m hungry,” quickly followed by “What’s for dinner?” and my absolute favorite, “We have no food.” (cue the eye roll here) The idea of another task after I’ve worked all day and played Uber to the latest practice always feels like the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. If only there was more time to do it all....
The constant race against the clock is something we all struggle with, which is why we made it the cover story for our latest issue of NEA Today. The reality is that there is enough time if we choose to find it, bargain for it, and accept new ways to gain more minutes in a day without altering the space-time continuum. Your Union has the power to give you the gift of time, and you can learn how by reading our new story, Time Crunch.

This back-to-school issue also includes ways to help you break the cycle of bad behavior. Recent NEA research shows that student behavior is a top concern for educators across all job categories. This story will help you understand the crisis while also providing short- and long-term remedies.
