My job is a thankless one most of the time. People feel that we should be thankful that we ‘only’ work 9 months. That we have a lot of days off during the school year. That we get ‘off’ at 3:00. Yet we work most evenings and weekends. It comes with a lot of disrespect. Daily. From students, administration and people who are in charge of education yet have never taught or even been involved in a school setting whatsoever.
But then Teacher Appreciation week comes and we get sweet things like these and the feels return. 🙂
