Jill Biden returns to the classroom as a working First Lady, becoming the first First Lady to leave the White House and log hours at a full-time job.

After months of teaching writing and English to community college students in boxes on a computer screen, the first ladyin person Tuesday from a classroom at Northern Virginia Community College, where she has worked since 2009.“There are some things you just can’t replace, and I can’t wait to get back in the classroom,” she recently told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Some first ladies acted as special ambassadors for their husbands. Eleanor Roosevelt was especially active, traveling around the U.S. and reporting back to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose activities were limited by polio. She advocated for the poor, minorities and other disadvantaged people, and began writing a nationally syndicated newspaper column from the White House.

“She sees it up close and personally and now, in the position as first lady, not only does she give voice to that from a place of understanding, she has an opportunity to create a platform and to have influence,” said Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association. In 1976, a year after she met and began dating then-U.S. Sen. Biden, Jill Biden started teaching English at a Roman Catholic high school in Wilmington, Delaware. She later taught at a psychiatric hospital and at Delaware Technical Community College.After Joe Biden became vice president in 2009, she joined the faculty at Northern Virginia Community College. She continued to teach there after he left office and throughout his 2020 presidential campaign, including virtually after the pandemic hit.

Jill Biden tries to keep her political identity out of the classroom and has said that many of her former students in Virginia had no idea she was married to the vice president. She also did not talk about it. Secret Service agents accompanied her for security, but she had them dress casually and tote backpacks in an attempt to blend into the campus environment.

Halfway through Clinton’s 1st term D’s lost 54 House seats and 8 in the Senate, ceding control of both houses to Rs for the first time in 40 years. The carnage during Barack Obama’s first midterm was even uglier: Democrats lost 63 seats in the House per politico

Does she not have bigger things to contend with? Like keeping her husband awake?

Good for her. Are we paying roughly the same in security as if she were doing more mundane first-lady activities, like public speaking? Does she create a different risk? Is she choosing to stay out of political elements due to potential conflict of interest?

**Dr. Jill Biden

Teaches in community college,yeah so much work🥴

Good for her.

Hahaha wtf

Maybe she sees the Inevitable.

Did she keep the money?🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸

She is a typical hard working woman. Juggling two jobs. Teacher and Caregiver!

So she has worked more than joe.

ShaniceUSA You really believe this shiiiii? Nah 👎🏿

Take off those masks kids don't listen to her

Melania is an escort. That’s a job too. Another trump victory

FLOTUS Is awesome. So great to see her back in the classroom!

In case you forgot there are Americans trapped behind enemy lines stranded by your administration. Do your job and bring them home , this is sll the media should b covering

Better go look for Joe. He’s likely outside trying to remember where he is.

Wants to be known as “Dr. B”. Ha. She has a doctorate in education? Whatever……. She is no “Doctor”. I guess it’s like my chiropractor demanding to be called “Doctor”.

Why? Did Hunter's check bounce?

Complete crap. Is this designed for some political gain? Can’t see this doing much for Joe.

She can't help Joe.

So Hillary Clinton leading a healthcare reform committee wasn't a job?

💯

Does she know what elder abuse is, kinda like when husband is clueless and you stand by and watch people abuse him….. sounds familiar Msnbc but then u won’t report on it.

Of course. Gotta make sure you indoctrinate them early. What a smart woman

Can they legally do that? Thought there were rules in place the president and first Lady can't have any other jobs

Who is paying for the security all these years !!!!!!

momsresistnow Just wondering what the former guy's wife could have taught, had she decided to go to the classroom while still First Lady.

Who is going to handle her geriatric husband with her gone? Who is going to keep Joe from telling more people, I '𝐈 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝟏𝟖 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫, 𝐦𝐚𝐧!'

Fantastic.

FLOTUS should be teaching Jenny Sock-it-to-me meaning of word 'stranded' and Plagiarist Bidumb's First Son hideous Hunter meaning of 'dignity' plus how not to discuss 'stolen' laptop with hooker. TheHill People Newsmax Politico WHPress RollCall USATODAY AP NPR PBS CNN

Maybe spend your time doing FLOTUS work? Lots of teachers; only one First Lady!

Michelle would have enjoyed this ☝️

Wow. What a woman of character!!!

She’s amazing 💯❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Just remind me what did Melania do all day?

Now wait, she could not give up the coin to work for America. Lame money hungry Biden

The best first Lady we have ever seen in modern times.

No ‘clear’ messaging about pandemic from Biden and Trump administrations, Maryland’s gov saysMaryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Sunday that messaging regarding the handling of the pandemic has not been clear from either the Trump or Biden administrations. Really? Haven’t you noticed who are the people that are unvaccinated? They must have gotten their message very clearly from whoever was the messenger they are listening to😊😊😊 This debacle now is ALL the Biden administration! They have made these decisions, they are responsible for all of this madness. His administration has done this, they keep it going , variant after variant. we have had enough! Larry Hogan was done with keeping Marylanders safe from COVID last summer & pushed all responsibility to local government. He released a book about how he beat the pandemic in July 2020 - no one should listen to anything he says.
