As someone who depended on her teachers more than anything growing up, (in particular my favorite teacher Mrs. Flannery), I hope we can treat our teachers better and appreciate the value they bring to our world and children. We support you teachers :-)
Let's hope this strike is resolved soon...

Ms. Flannery read this post :-)
ReplyDeleteComedian Mark Lunholm said (and this isn;t a joke) "In a perfect world teachers will be earning a million dollars a year and pro athletes will be the ones working for tips!"
ReplyDeleteIf it was not for a particular teacher I would have been a complete coconut!
that's an awesome quote thank u for sharing!:)
ReplyDelete"If you care for your children, how can you not care for those who teach them?"
ReplyDeleteThank you Nishat, that was a very good quote too! Going to to use it now!!
DeleteWhy thank you! I wrote it :) Planning on becoming an elementary teacher next year and thought what would I have written if I was in the strike...and that's what I came up with :-)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your new career prospect in teaching, it is a very underappreciated job but a very essential one!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be a great unforgettable teacher and I am sure your students will make you proud!
