@msnbc: American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten responds to resurfaced 2021 comments in which Vance criticizes her and others working in education who do not have children. Weingarten tells @jenpsaki she considers her wife's children her kids and "somebody doesn't have to be a parent to be a great teacher."
The single best and most influential teacher I ever had was a woman who didn’t have children. I would argue it made her an even BETTER teacher because she considered her students her children.

My best teacher was a biology teacher who married her wife, another teacher, years after I graduated. Us students were their children. They taught us more than Biology & English. They taught us life

Every teacher I had, parents or single, treated me like I was their own kid. Throughout my educational journey, some of the best people I’ve met were teachers. Thank you Teachers 🥹

Can you imagine having a class of 30 kids and being like “Okay Johnny- your parents want you to learn this. But Susie- your kids want you to learn this.” We can’t do individual lessons for every kid

My cousin who has been a teacher since the 80’s has never had her own kids. She always felt that her students were kids. That was enough for her. She is still an amazing teacher.

I don’t have children of my own, but I’m called mom by some of my students. To them, I am like their parent. I love my students like they are my own, and I couldn’t imagine being told I’m not a good teacher

My aunt has been a teacher for 20 years. Her and my uncle don’t have kids because they physically weren’t able. She is such a beloved teacher at every school she’s taught at.

I’m a teacher and a single mom. It’s the teachers without kids, or with kids who are grown, who help me out when my kids are sick, or I need to attend my own child’s school events.

If I’ve never been a teacher before then the chances are pretty high that I have no idea what it takes to be a good one. I entrusted teachers to teach and I must trust them to do so. Respect

Leah Phillips :
the most wonderful teacher in the school district where I grew up doesn't have any children of her own. If you ask her though, she has hundreds of kids from her many years of teaching (I was in her class in the 90s). She's still a huge part of our community and keeps in touch with a lot of students

As a former school principal, some of my best teachers were the ones that didn’t have children. They treated their students like they were their children. I had one teacher that would do little girls
