This post is dedicated to all of the teachers who spend countless hours prepping for the 8 hour school days. To all the teachers that help our children discover who they are and what they want to be be.
Teachers work hard every day. The job isn’t just 8 hours a day. 5 days a week. 9 months a year. Every single teacher I know puts in many hours at home grading papers, preparing exercises, and cutting displays so that their students will have a wonderful 8 hours in school. Both of my children have been graced with wonderful teachers this year who have had to deal with different types of adversity in their classrooms and they have dealt with it with humor, compassion, and grace. I will always be grateful for the examples they have given my children.
One more thing I’m thankful for is that they give assignments that let my children bring home works of art like the one below. This is a few years old, but it’s definitely going in her scrapbook or wedding video, or something equally as embarrassing.
