Who stole the appreciation in Teacher Appreciation Week?

Katie Klein:

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I cannot think of a more appropriate way to express my deep-rooted and sincere gratitude for educators, than using this very public forum.

And to call out the jackasses who seem to neglect the word "appreciation" that educators are so deserving of. Every day.

I have the distinct honor and privilege of knowing a few upper-echelon educators within the area. I also follow a few teachers on Twitter. They are nothing short of amazing.

I've witnessed them instruct in front of diverse classrooms full of students, draw up lesson plans over endless cups of coffee and methodically pour their hearts and souls into each day's activities. They are full of hope. They're focused on injecting children's lives with knowledge that will one day mold them into future leaders - future pillars of a community - and adults that will one day change the world. These teachers are selfless.
