The interviewer, Rose Aguilar, says, “I met Charmaine Felton, a retired teacher who hasn’t spoken out before this movement began, at Occupy Monterey in California.”

She taught for 35 years and believes that teachers need to take back their profession by speaking out more forcefully for what’s best for children. “We’ve had enough.”

Charlene says that for too long, teachers have allowed other people to say what the teaching profession does, or should do, and it is time for teachers to step up and let their voices be heard.
