Parents vs. Teachers - Ep. 65 - The Fire of Liberty Show
Patty Alexander always believed two things: that parents are a child's first teacher and that strong relationships between parents and educators matter. After 34 years in the classroom Patty has retired from her job, but she continues to find new ways to fight for children and education. She ran for school board twice, speaks at the Iowa State Capitol on important bills, serves on the Social Studies Standards Rewrite Team and continues to work with future educators as a student teacher supervisor. Now servings as our Warren County, IA Chapter Chair, Patty shares what she learned during her years in education, what pushed her to get involved after retirement, the battles she has taken on in Iowa and why she believes it's never too late to become an advocate for the next generation.
