I’ve taught preschool, kindergarten, first through eighth, and now third. Your children are my children! I too had to leave my little boys to teach other children and I thank their teachers for taking such care of my boys. Thank you for your kind words!

Do “high school” or “English” provide any idea as to how little thanks come my way? While no teacher is in it for the thanks, it’s still nice to hear. Thank you for this.

Ladies, some day will come when your children will not be waiting on you. I am a mother of four wonderful kids, two 20-somethings and two teenagers. I miss those days, but remember how exhausting they can be! Enjoy it as much as you can. Blessed to be still getting my hugs from my third graders in school, though 🙂

I would offer that most Dads feel much the same. When my sons were growing and learning (they are all in their 30’s now), I was in integral part of their lives and education. I was even “chastised” by one school official that I had “over-taught” my children to the point that they “did not fit in with the rest of their class.” My response:”Thank you!”
It is my belief that the parents are primarily responsible for a child’s education, schools are but a tool to help fulfill that role.

It’s good there are still few who are like you ..thank you also for acknowledging the efforts of teachers.thank you for your prayers. I just wish parents like you will multiply .

I wanted to thank you for sharing this kind letter. Just tonight I was feeling dread about going back to school. I teach junior high art and some days you find yourself wondering if you are making the right choice by staying in the classroom while your children are little. I find myself jealous, thinking “man I could be home with my little man instead of getting an attitude from this 12 year old,” as you wonder if any of the knowledge you are bestowing on them is even sinking in. As I prep for tomorrow your words will stay on my heart. Thank you for the affirmation and kind words. You have no idea how bad many of us educators needed to here that.

I am in my 14th year of retirement and your words spoke to me as I thought of all the young ❤️S
I held in my hand! I hear from many of my first graders all grown up how I helped them in their path in life!!! The happy comments ate my real pay for teaching all those years! Thank you for all your kind comments!!
