Comments:
Melissa – This is par for the course for teachers. They are educators, substitute parents, counselors, nurses, mentors, and so many other things. They feed their kids knowledge and food. They are true heroes.
Diana – A true dad who clearly loves his job and working with children…But the best part is that sweet little girl would never have asked him if she didn’t think he WOULD help her
Alannah – Kindergarten music teacher here! I’ve done pony tails and pig tails.
I’ve fixed bows and tied shoes. I have no children yet but I treat all my students like I’d treat my own children. They deserve that of us, they’re kids! It sets a good example. Who knows, we male teachers may be the only positive male role model in their lives. We have to show up everyday.
Katherine – Such a beautiful moment! THIS is what a true teacher is. That’s what they do! Think of all students as their own and test them that way. Love to them both and all the other TRUE teachers out there!
