This week is teacher appreciation week and I was wondering if parents really appreciate what teachers do for their children? I taught for 35 years and I loved the time I spent with the kiddos, but I see things getting worse every year and that is why I had to retire. I gave so much of my time for my students. I was there to support them in every way both in and out of the classroom, but things have been changing for the past 5 years and not for the better. Students seem to be able to do whatever they want with no consequences and more and more parents blame the teacher when something goes wrong.
To all those wonderful parents that support the teachers, THANK YOU SO MUCH. A child's education is so much better when the parents and teachers can work together.
