    Teachers that love to teach God bless them. It's not an easy Job but they do it to constantly manage their time teaching and personal life that's true skills. I am a student for life; I believe it’s never too late to learn, so I must not stop practicing good study habits. Teachers are the main key that helps children reaches their greatest potentials for a better world. Thank you to all teachers.

    I’m in 6th grade and I have social anxiety so I moved to online school for my 6th grade but 5th grade was fun
    just a little difficult and I felt so bad for putting my teacher through my panic attacks but my 5th grade teachers daughter was a therapist and made her understand more, she was so far my favorite teacher she was always supportive and really helpful and got me through the year now that takes guts 😂 props to you for being a positive teacher :) it will pay off in the end

      You should do a credential/ Bachelor's combination. Not all universities have that unfortunately. Then do a Master's/credential combination which will save you money and time. You will make more money in the process.

    I've been watching some american videos about being an elementary school teacher. But the thing that I noticed the most is how colorful and fun-looking the classrooms are in the US! Here in the Netherlands class rooms are pretty boring; a lot of white and just a lack of colors. These class rooms are sooo must more beautiful!

You remind me of her! (Not just attitude w/ students, but classroom decoration, hatred for messiness, and overall mannerisms)

    Being a teacher is one of the most underrated roles in life. The ones who helped us see purpose and meaning in learning are the ones who deserve the trophies because it’s not in the curriculum. They use their own passion to put together a set of meaningful lessons. I’d like to be a part of that.

    As a 5th grader I Appreciate you Because everyone I know (other than a select few) is so immature and annoying tbh and teaching us can be very difficult so you’re students should appreciate you!

    1) you are an amazing teacher!!!! And of course you need breaks lol but u are super good!
    2) how many kids do you have in your class?
    3) I love your classroom it’s so nice! I’m a kid and my class room is tables chairs and it’s super boring!
