Bonus quote, Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition. Jacques Barzun
Here’s hoping the world re-discovers the lost tradition of appreciating teachers not just with words and gestures but with actions, with policies, with pay-checks and by asking them how their jobs can be made easier and more engaging. Wishing you good health and good cheer as we move through this unusual school year.
