Wake up parents...teachers are a gift!!

There are many professions that society doesn't give two shits about. I am going to talk about teachers tonight. I have been seeing great, wonderful, and talented teachers getting the shitty end of the stick and I am sick of it. My heart goes out to them and I just want to hug them tight and say "THANK YOU" with hopes that my heart spills out all the love I'm feeling for them.

You are a gift and I thank you for the following...

Teaching my child to read
Teaching my child to do complicated math
Teaching my child how to handle a bully
Keeping my child safe
Teaching my child "out of the box out of the textbook" lessons that will forever stick with them.
Thank you for being there on a bad day and understanding no one is perfect
Thank you for spending your OWN money on school supplies the county or parents did not supply you with
Thank you for coming in on your days off and working for my child's education
