Teachers deserve thanks for devotion to children

I'm sitting here watching the public access station showing the teachers of the year for Guilford County Schools. As their pictures and names are shown, I have goose bumps. Why? Because teachers are my heroes.

Teachers are people who sacrifice monetarily to help their children. Teachers are people who sacrifice their own time to help our children succeed. Teachers really do care about our children.

My wife works at a middle school, and while things are not perfect and never will be, I'm impressed by the stories of devotion and caring by teachers.

Thank you, teachers, for being there for our children. Thank you for your devotion. It doesn't go unnoticed. You are the best.

Ben,
I share your thoughts toward teachers.

Unfortunately, the right wingers who post here most often, are enemies of teachers, and public education. They want religious endoctrinaiton, and private vouchers so that "Their" children do not have to mix with the poor or children of color.

They moan about government giveaways as they yell and scream about vouchers. They are always talking about how "bad" the schools are, but most have never done one thing to make them better.


Keep fighting the fight, Ben.
