I received this beautiful statement to honor teachers on World Teachers Day. That was October 5. Funny, the day passed unnoticed in the U.S.
It was sent to me on Twitter by Pedro De Bruyckere.
Read this, stand tall, and understand how lucky you are to be a teacher.
It starts like this:
“Teachers are no superheroes
They won’t save the world.
But they will save their children in case of emergency.
They are authors who write new works every single day.
They are directors of their own plays…..”
Teachers: Admired by all except for the knuckleheads and trolls who leave snarky comments on blogs and by legislators who dream up ways to demoralize teachers, perhaps because teachers are held in higher esteem than legislators and add more social value.

What a PR opportunity! Why wasn’t Arne standing on some stage, with the newest best and brightest, grinning broadly?
Amen.
Thank you!!!!
Awesome
I forgot about Saturday being Teacher Appreciation Day but I did go to my high school’s homecoming. I am teaching half of the football team, a few cheerleaders, students in the marching band, drill team and the dance team this year. I kind of felt like a superhero because they were happy that I came to see them do what they love the most.
I agree!
Ages 7-9, every day I came home from school and pretended I was a teacher.
They were my superheroes.
Did you make your stuffed animals do Common Core worksheets? 😉
According to a CNN/ORC poll conducted just a week or so ago, Congress has a 10 percent approval rating. This is its lowest approval rating in history.
Much honor to all my teachers from first-grade through high school, who managed to give me a superb education in a time before state departments, the federal government, the Chiefs for Change, Achieve, the Gates Foundation, Students Last (let’s tell it as it is), and other organizations of know-nothings decided to start micro-managing what they do.
