I actually always look up to everyone who decides to be a teacher as a profession. You guys have a really big heart. My sister has always wanted to be a teacher since she was a kid and a couple of years ago, her dream was realized and I'd never seen her happier.
Teacher is a noble profession and some people don't see that. It always saddens me to see people bringing teachers down or calling them names. There are times when I see teachers being 'attacked' by parents because their kids are failing and the kids don't even show any sort of remorse. It's painful to watch. You guys are the true heroes here. Without teachers, doctors, engineers, programmers and all those careers won't be born. You are what shape the generation so keep doing what you do!
