Teachers. Servants. Heroes.

Small office.

Huge conversations.

Their faces say it all:

Concern.

Care.

Confusion – because we’ve never been here.

The only way to describe this:

Catastrophic.

Without students a teacher is stripped of his/her identity – his/her purpose. It’s unsettling. It’s just not right.

I don’t know the implications that this life-altering pandemic will deliver in the long run, but let me tell you what I do know because I’ve seen and heard it firsthand from the amazing teachers in my building.

Love.

Hope.

Teamwork.

Passion.

Determination.

These teachers have a relentless drive to do their best – to be the best – because their students deserve the best.

Teachers deserve a raise. Hallelujah.

Teachers deserve a hug. [When this is all over]

Teachers deserve the world.

Thank a teacher, y’all. They deserve it. They need it.
