Time to Honor Real Heroes

1. Drew, I am not a teacher, but I think you really hit on the head with your comments.

2. I have often wondered about the people who complain that teachers are overpaid. That’s the future folks, I would prefer it be in smart and caring hands, seems like everyone should.

3. Drew, my mother is a teacher, thank you for this. I couldn’t agree with you more.

4. Drew, excellent cartoon, looks like someone paid attention school.

   One day maybe we will have some towns like Eureka.

5. Good Morning from Omaha,

   My family has produced teachers for generations. My mother in law, mother, sister in law and brother, nieces and yes my son are all teachers and I am beyond proud of each and every one of them.

   Teachers shape the future and deal with whatever heartbreak their students bring to school. My mother in law, almost 60 years ago, would say first you have to teach the parents. We laughed when we heard that but then my wife explained that you have to teach the parents the value of what the children are learning so that they can/will get behind the student and push them to go forward with there education.

   Some parents, and this has been going on for years, drop the kids off at school for breakfast and pick them up after the school supplies dinner. On the weekends some kids go home from school with a paper bag filled with boxes of mac and cheese so they will have something to eat for the weekends.

   teachers are paid too much- I call b.s. on that. They dont take a vow of poverty to become teachers and invest a lot of time and money in continuing on with their education to better serve the student. The rewards of being a teacher are not monetary in nature but in the hugs of a kindergartner.

   Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.
