Mitch Kellaway: Father's Day as a Transgender Man
Teacher Appreciation Week
Filed under: Day Care & Education
As a parent and as the husband of a teacher, I know first hand how much work teachers put into caring for, caring about, and educating their students. I know the difficulties they face -- the lack of respect, the physical danger, the low pay -- and I definitely appreciate it.
All too often, we hear about the odd teacher who does something wrong, but they are by far the exceptions. Most teachers are dedicated professionals who indeed are in it for the kids. Perhaps this week, if your kids have a teacher that has helped them, you might think of showing them a bit of love. It doesn't have to cost anything (please, no more mugs!); a simple note of thanks can sometimes make all the difference.
Here's to the teachers who not only do their jobs but generally make ours much easier as well.

rebecca Biernesser said...I"m a room mom and fixing to be co-chair in next years PTA, and I just want to say how much our teachers need to respect and special attention as this week provides. Our school starts this week off, by sending home (or giftcards for dinner out) dinners for our teachers and their families. Tuesday, thruday and friday are up to room moms to pick something out, wednesday is a huge teacher luncheon with an extra thirty mins to just sit, eat, and enjoy. Our class is giving our teacher a basket full of her favorite colors (lotions, etc.), a bunch of $5 gift cards, and a recipe books made by the students. Our teacher deserves this b/c she is wonderfula nd kind to our little kindergarteners.
More importantly, ALL teachers deserve a special thank you b/c of the hard work they do and for everything they have to put up with..

All the others have ranged from okay (a couple of them) and very good (all the rest).
And I do tell them so.
