Susie Morice, a retired educator, worked in various capacities in the field of education. She was a middle school English Language Arts teacher but also taught in high school and at the college level. Susie shared the shock that the COVID-19 pandemic brought to her and her community and family. She shared that a young niece of hers fell ill and how the virus was such a silent presence. Susie learned of the struggles many educators faced with technology being the tool for delivering instruction. She also discussed her disappointment with leadership both nationwide and in individual states and communities. She said that she’s always been a writer and now more than ever are teachers’ voices and words needed in order to fairly document this experience.
