Jill Biden, the first lady, made her resignation as a teacher at Northern Virginia Community College official on Monday.
During a virtual teacher appreciation event last Thursday, Biden stated, “I taught my last class of the semester and my final class ever at Northern Virginia Community College.” As your first lady, I continued to teach full-time because I will always adore this line of work.
Following former President Donald Trump’s election victory and President Joe Biden’s statement that he would conclude his reelection campaign in July, the news was made as she gets ready to leave the White House.
The virtual speech to educators was a reflection of her first formal appearance as first lady in 2021, where she co-spoke with Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, and Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association.
As you depart the people’s home, I hope you know that you have left a legacy that will endure, Mr. Pringle remarked. I can assure you that I will be contacting you, so you will continue to work.
Jill Biden first FLOTUS to continue career during White House role
As the first FLOTUS in the position’s 231-year existence to continue working while holding the position, Biden created history.
She has four degrees, including a PhD in teaching and two master’s degrees. During the Obama administration, she taught while holding the position of second lady, and her pupils called her Dr. B.
In order to prevent her Secret Service personnel from interfering with her classes, she previously told Vogue that she would have them pose as college students.
She was prepared to show that FLOTUS could be anything she wanted it to be when she took on the post.
Ahead of the 2020 Democratic National Convention, Biden wrote, “Teaching is not what I do.” That’s who I am.
