When we think about our formative years, it’s probably easy to imagine a teacher who made a lasting impression on us. It’s unfortunate that teachers don’t receive the appreciation they deserve. After all, many schools are short-staffed, and teachers might have to purchase their own supplies.
Teachers do so much for society as they help develop and foster the minds of our future generations. Keep reading for more reasons why we should celebrate the teachers in our life.
Undervalued Job
Did you know that one in five teachers in the US have to work two or more jobs to make ends meet? That’s because the profession of a school teacher, especially those in public school, is massively underpaid. Teachers being underpaid and overworked can significantly affect their overall quality of life. When this occurs, we find that teachers can’t do their jobs as well as they would like to.
Buy Their Own Supplies
If you have ever scrolled on any app on your phone, you have likely come across a teacher raising money so that they can purchase supplies for their students. It’s sad, but it’s a true reality—many schools don’t equip their staff with the proper tools to teach their students properly. When we think about this predicament, it’s clear that many teachers stay in the profession for the love of it—this is why we should celebrate the teachers in our life. You can do this by gifting them school supplies to show your appreciation.
Influential Impact
Many of us have seen and maybe shed a couple of tears over movies that depict the relationship between a teacher and their students. Movies like Stand and Deliver and Dead Poets Society are examples of how incredible teachers are and the amazing impact they can have on their student body. Teachers are sometimes the only adult figure that children can look up to. We can’t underestimate their influential impact.
