What Teachers Make

Often under appreciated, and sometimes underpaid, it is important to remember…. good teachers can change lives…When Taylor Mali was harassed at a dinner party and roasted, for being just a teacher by his host, he politely held his tongue until the host asked him, “You’re a teacher Taylor, I mean come on, be honest…. what do teachers make?”

While we don’t normally share stories that start on a negative note like this one, the message of this teacher’s response is too good to ignore, even if his delivery comes across frustrated, and at times, even a bit angry.

From kindergarten to college, teachers do make a difference.  If you ever had a great one, you already know this.  Maybe your child or grandchild has one now.  Take a minute to let him or her know you appreciate all he or she is doing.  Sending a note of thanks or taking a minute just to acknowledge a great job can go a very long way.

Showing gratitude for a great teacher will make both your lives so much more abundant 🙂
