[@breakaway2x]

Being a teacher myself, this hits home. I feel like teachers are one of the most important jobs/roles in children's lives but also one of the least recognized and acknowledged. Why? If you think about it, teachers often don't get to ever see the results of their contribution/work because it's something that takes decades to see and most never get to see it. It's like you plant the seeds today, but someone else will get to benefit from it in the future and not you and that's how it really works anyways. Teachers are about investments to the future. Thankless today, but someday in the future it may be remembered.

[@hidayah840]

I'm an adult, thank god, and I often think about my elementary school and kindergarten teachers. I remember their names, the positive stories that became memories and I thank them for being the good adult roles in my childhood. I appreciate every kind teacher (no matter for what age/institution), thank you for this very hard and important job that you do. It's not only a "job", you are a part of the future and part of the happyness of human beings, thank god and god bless you!

[@maxtm3000]

every couple years i go back and check in on the teachers who were memorable, they always appreciate it and i like catching up

[@asserm.8047]

i dont know if this helps, but most people remember fondly the stand out teachers/professors theyve had throughout their formative years. i fully agree that teachers deserve more recognition and benefits, since its one of the most important jobs a person can have, but at the very least there'll be many people feeling thankful that they met you, which is pretty cool:)

[@dekai7992]

I too fondly remember the good teachers I had, and some of them, through only one gesture, a word or advice given in the right moment, changed my trajectory to where I am today. Thank you very much for what you do every day. Thank you, and all the other brilliant, caring, hard-working teachers out there.

[@eltonronjovi2238]

Except for a couple in high school, I remember the names of all my teachers. Some were mediocre (in holding our attention, not in knowledge) but most were dedicated and caring. Some I liked more than others but I can accredit each one of them with something specific about me or a tool I now possess. I will never, ever be able to express my gratitude to them. They literally freed my mind, nurtured it, showed me how to get the most from it. So to you, as an educator, never lose sight of the immeasurable impact you have on a persons life. We may not realize it as the student, but as the adult, we do. So thanks to you and your colleagues from the bottom of my heart. Your work is noble

[@MacandChak]

As teachers, this is just so TOUCHING! I love all my students. I've been teaching for over 8 years now, and some of my students are becoming doctors, dancers, lawyers. It's crazy to see them turn from little monkeys into capable adulting human beings.
