I recently had the privilege of visiting my wife’s school. I went by there to catch her since I knew she would faint when I told her the repairs on her car would total $1,200. But a funny thing happened while standing in her classroom. Her 5th and 6th grade special education students were returning from the awards ceremony.

I have always said that they don't pay teachers enough...I've gone back to a number of my former teachers and thanked them for not giving up on me (Even when it appeared I had given up on myself.) And for words of encouragement. You never know how
ReplyDeletemuch a kind word can do for a person sometimes..SO I applaud your wife and all teachers.
My daughter just began her second year of teaching. I give her so much credit. She's exhausted every day because she gives her pre-schoolers everything she has. She makes good money, but it's definitely not as much as she should be making. Teachers shape minds and are like second parents. They should be paid and valued a lot more than they are. I give the utmost respect to anyone who genuinely chooses to dedicate themselves to the education of our children.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, every now and again I feel like I supervise a bunch of big kids who I can't make take a nap. I'm with you, it's not my calling but I praise Mrs. SLC and her spirit for honoring those kids with a commitment that goes well beyond an 8 hour day!
ReplyDeleteSuch an enjoyable read. I can only imagine how much joy it gives your wife to not only have accepted her calling, but to see the positive effect which her blessing has upon others.
ReplyDeletePerfect - the way her finger points upward w/ joy upon her face.
What a joy it is to see that Mrs. SLC's hard work, patience and discipline(being the disciple that she is) has truly paid off. I too could not walk in her shoes...not enough patience! (smile) Congrats and continued blessings to all of our teachers...WE NEED YOU ALL!
ReplyDeleteGod bless your wife. Teaching is not an easy job. It must be your calling in order to benefit the students. Each teacher has the power to shape the destiny of their students and thus shape the world. This post was really inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
