Encourage a teacher today.
My mom’s bday would be today. She modeled values profoundly. Among them was how to encourage a teacher by love.
Mom was a great nurse. How much suffering she touched at her profession, and carried home from work, I wonder. And I’m not sure any profession is worse about bringing their work home with them than teachers are:-) I’m not sure any profession demands more relationships. With adults, fellow faculty, administrators, staff, and most of all… The relationships which explain why they do what they do.
Classrooms are not a physical place. They’re a magical cauldron of a couple dozen relationships. Every minute. Every. Day.
Teachers, as you march into that fire today, I’m thinking of you. And soon, dozens of people will be relating with you.
