Teacher Appreciation

Teaching might sound like a fun job, but I watch my teachers and know they work hard to keep us safe and teach us what we need to learn, but are very unappreciated.

Teachers have to deal with misbehaving students, plan lessons, grade homework and tests and get paid about $3,000 a month (not including the summer months unless they teach summer school). They often have to have more than one job to pay for their own home, food, and often, school supplies.

So when Teacher Appreciation Week comes, take care of your teacher as they take care of your child. I want to thank my teachers for all they do and I hope you do too.
