When I was a child in public school in Houston, we had an annual ritual of sending handmade valentines to everyone else in the class, so that no one was left out. It was a day to express not only love but friendship and kindness.
These days, teachers don’t get the love, kindness, respect, and gratitude they deserve. A lot of tinhorn politicians have been pretending to be tough guys by disparaging those who taught them.
Please draft a short thank-you to a teacher who affected your life. Tell them how much you appreciate what they did for you. Tell them you remember them.
