Appreciation weeks are
great but they are never enough.
We should appreciate our teachers every day.
We should also appreciate our Parents and families and friends and veterans and
policemen and ….. Well you get the point.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the number of educators in my own family. Two Aunts, an Uncle, three cousins and my mother taught public school music for a time. My father was also a beloved high school teacher for nearly 20 years before following other pursuits. I think he always regretted leaving. It has been 30 years since he taught but to this day he rarely goes out to eat or to the grocery store when he doesn't get a hug or a howdy-do from a former student. The impact a kind and decent person can have is limitless.

There are not enough days in the week
for all the great teachers. So on this last day of appreciation I figured I
would list some more great ones. In addition to the phenomenal cast of teachers who suffered me over the years I have included many fabulous teachers who have suffered my children and by extension me. There are countless friends and family who have answered the noble call of teaching who I would like to list as well. Feel free to share the names of your favorite teachers in the comments. Even better sit down and write them a note. I am sure they would appreciate the quaintness as well as any proper spelling and grammar. Thanks for all you do!
