20 things you can only appreciate if you are a teacher

You have to take good, bad and bizarre!


Teachers are all the unknown heroes of the parent and the child. These are therapists, mediators, nurses, mentors, guards and many more. Frankly, many teachers should be on at least three different employees. But often, educators do not receive the credit they deserve.
