I'm grateful for all the teachers I had growing up (even the ones I didn't like at the time), and I'm grateful for the teachers my kids have. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without the teachers who helped mold me into the person I am. And I can only hope that I've helped mold the next great minds.
My late mother was a lifetime teacher. It bothered me that she voted republican most of the time knowing how that party would gut funding to everything. But, I would say that if she were alive today, she'd be impressed with how more and more teachers in every state are leading the way for worker's rights. She was always an awesome teacher. But she would have made an awesome democrat if the GOP had not convinced her to vote against her own self interests.
