I enjoyed reading this acrostic dedicated to teachers. You are right that it is a calling and not just a job. My mother is a retired teacher, and my sister has been teaching for a long time. I liked your message, and I like that you used the word "erudition." Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

This is a fine tribute to teachers everywhere. They truly do have a calling and they are so influential with children and young people these days. There is a dearth of cultural and values training in our homes these days. Teachers have picked up the slack and with many or most kids teachers are more influential in the belief system then parents are.

Oh yes, teaching is such a noble profession, I am married to a retired teacher, who still teaches French as a volunteer to other retirees, my two daughters are likewise teachers. Beautifully written TFT, blessings Roy

Hi, teafor2

Boy. I sure would have liked some notes for this one. I know it is about teachers. I know it is showing teachers in a positive light

And, I think it is encouraging other people to become teachers. I think that's where the respondents come in.

I agree that teachers have a tough job. You get kids from the hood wiho bring guns to school. You get kids that mouth off in class and won't shut up.

Then, every once in a while, you get a kid who listens to you, does the work and succeeds in life. And makes up for all the other crap the teacher has to deal with.

I really enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Teaching is definitely a calling. I taught students with special needs for nearly 30 years. It wasn't a lucrative job but the benefits were intangible and priceless I was blessed. Thank you for sharing this.

Best wishes,

Alex
