THE BEST TEACHERS SHOW YOU WHERE TO LOOK

 The best teachers are those
 who show you where to look
 but don't tell you what to see.

 FIRST RESPONDERS 

Have you seen the commercial for the roofing company that offers discounts to people buying a roof who are either military, veterans, or first responders? Well, now they’ve added a fourth important group to the people to whom they offer discounts – educators. Yes, educators! Bravo! Finally – someone who understands that educators are actually first responders every day.

Educators “live” with their students for roughly five days a week for 180 days, give or take. Their students look to them not only for knowledge, but also advice, comfort, and guidance. Many of the students in our system find a stability in school that they don’t have at home. Students can rely on the fact that they have a safe place where they will be fed and that their teachers will be there to help them.

 PRICELESS 

I wish I had a copy of a cartoon I saw years ago that showed a stretch limo pulling up to the sidewalk. There were basketball players watching the people in the limo getting out. They said, “Oh, it’s just some teachers making 7 figures.” Teachers will never make 7 figure salaries, but the services they offer their students are priceless.

 THE ART 

Note: I have received some products from The Crafter's Workshop; however, even though I use and love their products, all opinions are solely my own. #ad #advertising #sponsor
