Abstract	The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has launched a yearlong campaign, Real Solutions for Kids and Communities, that rejects the toxic attacks against public education in favor of working to strengthen public schools, making real solutions for kids a national priority. This article lays out five essential solutions for meeting kids' needs: (1) unlocking the power and possibility that come from being a confident reader; (2) ensuring that all children have opportunities to learn by doing--engaging in experiential learning, including career and technical education; (3) caring for young people's mental health and well-being, including by demanding that social media companies protect, not prey on, children; (4) catalyzing a vast expansion of community schools that meaningfully partner with families; and (5) fighting for the teaching and support staff, and the resources, students need to thrive.
