Dear Reader,

Are you a teacher? If yes, this one’s for you.

I spent two years teaching special education in North Carolina before I went back to school for journalism and dedicated my career to telling the stories of kids like the ones I taught: brilliant young people with unique personalities who are too often underserved and ignored.

Like you, I get sick to my stomach when I think about how unevenly we distribute our country’s resources and what that means for some children. That’s why I wrote about the lack of mental health services for children in the rural South. That’s why I investigated the underperforming and under-monitored child care system in Mississippi. And that’s why I love to highlight solutions, like the program in California that aims to improve the mental health of preschool teachers and, ultimately, the children they teach.

Look, I get it. People are constantly asking more of you. And how much more do you have to give? But I’ve got a way for you to keep important coverage like ours alive without too much effort.

Just tell us you’re a teacher. If you can donate as little as $5 and check the box saying that you’re a teacher, it will give us the opportunity to tell bigger funders how much the work we do matters to teachers. We’ll add you to our special teacher list, send you a small token of our appreciation and include you in our count to big funders. (And if you can't afford $5, just reply to this email, tell me you're a teacher and I'll put you on our teacher list anyway.)

From someone who’s been there, thank you for the work you do every day to serve all of our children.

Best,
Jackie Mader
