Teachers are so important in developing the next generation. They help them to learn and grow by providing one of the most powerful tools a young mind can wield: Knowledge.
With this week being Teacher Appreciation Week, we need to take a step back and recognize all that our great teachers do to support and prepare our students for the future.
That’s why I want to recognize my son’s teacher, Ms. Frazier. My son is enrolled in online learning with Alabama Destinations Career Academy. He struggled in a traditional brick and mortar setting, so we moved him to a school that offers more hands-on support.
Although it’s been an adjustment, he’s formed a strong bond over time with his Special Education teacher, Ms. Frazier. She goes above and beyond for her students and it shows through her dedication to being a thoughtful and caring educator. She gave Jordan the confidence to actively participate in class and fully engage in his learning. I honestly couldn’t have gotten through this year without her.
Teachers deserve to be celebrated year-round. But for at least one week out of the year, let’s give them the long overdue recognition and praise they deserve.
