DUO Inspirations Gives a Special Shout Out to Teachers!

​Hi friends,

     How are you this week?  I thought I would take a moment to give a special shout out to our teachers. Teachers often wear many hats and often go above and beyond in teaching and raising our children.  Many of us don’t take the time to appreciate just how much many teachers do.
​

     There may be a mistaken notion that teachers merely work during the school day. However, that is not so.  When I was teaching, I worked many hours above and beyond the school day.  I planned lessons, corrected papers, created activities and displays, shopped for classroom supplies, attended meetings and professional development classes, as well as thought and prayed about my students.  I also bought things like snacks, stickers, and other little rewards for the students.

     Most teachers are not just there for a job, but are there because they enjoy teaching and like making a difference in the lives of their students.  Teaching is often a rewarding vocation, but often a thankless job as well.

     We thank our veterans for their service, as well we should.  Service members spend countless hours sacrificing time away from family and friends to keep us safe and free.  Yet, we under appreciate our teachers.  Teachers, although often they do not put their life on the line, do spend countless hours teaching, caring, and raising our children into knowledgeable citizens.  Often times, teachers spend more waking hours with our children than even parents are able to do.  This is huge! This time, guidance, and care for our children deserves respect and appreciation as well.

     So, today, DUO Inspirations gives a big shout out to teachers.  I appreciate what you do.  I have taught and know the time and care that goes into teaching, not only while you are in the classroom with students, but in the prep work, learning, and other times as well.

     I am not in the classroom anymore, however, I am committed, through DUO Inspirations, to create educational resources that make it easier for teachers to teach and students to learn.  Just tell me what I can do.  If I can pray about it or create it, if I can help, I will.  Teachers, I am here for you.  I appreciate all you do for your students.  Thank you.

     So, if you see a teacher, tell him or her that you appreciate their work.  If you are a teacher, know that I appreciate you. I know that teachers spend valuable time with our children.  For that, you will always be appreciated in my mind.  Thank you.

Now, it is your turn.
     Tell me how you feel.  I would like to hear your views.  Also, if you are a teacher, please let me know if you need anything.  What resources or activities would be helpful for you?  Feel free to contact me.  Thank you.
     If you find value in what I write, feel free to share it with friends and family. Also, please consider signing up to receive the Education Blog by DUO Inspirations and other educational content in your inbox.  Thank you.
