School Days

I have a new appreciation for our teachers. Not only do they have the responsibility to educate our children and make them ready for promotion into the world,  but for the first time I realize they also have the burden of parenting character into children. I want to think the world is still a wonderful place, full of people loving Jesus, loving their children and working hard at their parenting. However, it's just not true for the majority. OF COURSE, THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS.

So, these teachers...trying to make math facts interesting and valuable...are trying to talk kids into doing their work, and get things signed, and not get into fights or talk about things that aren't appropriate, all day, everyday. I can see the stress that would cause a teacher. And I am thinking of them a lot today because I am in a new place...I need them. I need my kids to be in school because they are doing well there. Their teachers are teaching, loving, and encouraging. My kids are loving music, art, PE, and the library. They have good days at school and it's good for all of us to have that structure in place.

SO THANKFUL for my kids' teachers.
