Have You Heard Episode #21: Teachers Are Leaving and They Want to Tell You Why 



 In this episode of Have You Heard, we hear from teachers who left their jobs – and wanted to tell the world why. Some left *kicking and screaming,* as was the case with Oklahoma Teacher of the Year Shawn Sheehan. Others shared powerful emotional appeals with the world to object to everything they feel is wrong with public education. These very public resignations are a form of activism, a way for teachers to articulate how and why teaching needs to change. Warning: this episode should be rated *p* for powerful! You can read the transcript of the episode here.
