So here we are, the night before school. Well, for the teachers of Nova Scotia anyway (I know that many of my American colleagues are already back at school). As I sit here and think about what the year will bring, my mind drifts back to a conversation I had the other day.
It was around some work being done at my house, we were having our kitchen cabinets refinished and the process was anything but smooth. Long story short we ran into a contractor that we will not be using again! I had reached out on social media about the contractor and was contacted by a few people who had had the same issues.
At the end of one of these conversations the person said "thanks for being a teacher". It was timely as we are preparing for heading back to school and meaningful because so few people thank me for being a teacher.
I have been thanked for being a particular child's teacher or thanked for leading an inservice but never for being a teacher. It really meant a lot to me. So I wanted to take a minute and thank all the teachers out there.
I want to thank you for being teachers, for taking on a difficult, important, and often overlooked career. Thank you for the hours of time you put in during your summer, for the sleepless nights worrying about students, and for the dedication to the Teaching Life.
Have a great start to the year, and again, thank you for being a teacher!
