Dear Teachers Everywhere…

An amazing post from a fellow-teacher and parent.  So what I needed after a rough day.  Here’s a sneak peek:

“Teachers, when you instruct our kids that struggle, I know you have, yet again, patiently pulled up a seat next to their desks, 24 other kids still in the room, and kindly helped them toward mastery.  I know you modify, adapt, adjust for their success, which takes so much time and energy.  Children with emotional or physical challenges, kids with language barriers and personal turmoil, those who struggle to learn and retain, test and succeed, they require so much of you in the midst of your regular responsibilities, and your patient attentiveness cannot possibly be over celebrated.  As a mom whose children blossomed under the weight of your investment, I could throw myself at your feet and weep with gratitude.”
