What many do not understand is, teaching is not a 40-hour work week. After a teacher leaves school, he/she still has lesson plans, grading papers, and calling parents. Then, there’s the challenge of working all day with students who have different learning styles and abilities, plus the ones who don’t want to be there, and cause disruptions in the classroom. It’s just not the easy job some people think it is. So, I agree that teachers should be thanked more often than just one day out of the year.
