What Students Remember Most About Teachers
I remember my 8th grade teacher making a strong impression on me. She encouraged me to run for class president.

As most of you know (or don’t know), I am a teacher and coach. I have been doing both for 28 years now and I have loved every second of it. I really enjoy teaching my students in an atmosphere where they can have loads of fun, learn concepts, exercise and get rid if some stress.

Teachers in this country are severely underpaid and under appreciated.

Teachers deserve only the best wages and Benifits. We send our children to be with them for 6 hours of the day. I saw less of my sons for all those years they were growing up. Three cheers for teachers!
