You&#8217;re supposed to be putting your foot down and saying, No, not my teachers. The students need teachers,&#8221; she told Todd Piro.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia said the key to getting more teachers back is to rehire teachers like herself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hire the teachers who are qualified. We went to school for this. We&#8217;ve furthered our lives on this. I&#8217;ve been a teacher for 14-15 years now and at this point put the teachers back in the classroom. You&#8217;re going overseas for what? You&#8217;re assessing other countries, but your own backyard is basically drowning over here.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Garcia concluded by stating that she is holding a rally in support of teachers and her cause in Albany, N.Y. on January 10th.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>Fox News&#8217;
