I hope all the teachers are enjoying their last few days of summer vacation, So many have to report back by the middle of August or earlier. We owe a lot to teachers including a decent salary so they aren't tempted off into the professions by more money. We loose many of the best that way.
I always thought that it was so unfair that there was that saying: Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
A teacher who can inspire her or his students, help them them acquire the fundamentals of whatever subject s/he is teaching so that they can go on and build on that solid foundation, instill in them a love of learning and the joy that comes from each new discovery, whether of a fact or a skill or a beautiful line of poetry or a philosopher's magical words of wisdom that resonate long after school is over--a teacher like that is a treasure!
That is so true. I'll bet a lot of people, including myself, never even thought about that before, it's like we take teachers for granted! We owe teachers a lot, they basically shape our society............Wendy
