Congratulations to all of these Teachers - They are all WINNERS!
Of course they are! Missouri is 32nd in the nation concerning quality education. I guess everyone gets a trophy!
9:18 still beats Oklahoma’s 49th ranking
Hold your beer and watch this!
There's a race to the bottom and when SWMO sends people like Jill ' Lets put all your private info on the internet' Carter and Mike 'child brides for Jeebus' Moon in Jeff City you know Missouri can do way worse than 32nd...
4:11 absolutely correct. Wonder why Republicans want the least and worst education for their states?? Easier to control the population through lack of education????
Good grief, So many negative comments on this post. How about we just congratulate these teacher of the year finalists?
10:58 very true.
