Teaching is a truly noble profession. It's sad the amount of responsibility that teachers have today. They're not only teaching kids: they're raising kids, policing kids - and they don't make a lot of money.

Teachers are expendable, overworked, underpaid, and many times disrespected by students, parents and higher-ups. Nonetheless, these teachers still show up because there are some who are teachers indeed.

Teachers are out there with a very difficult job, which they pursue with tireless dedication.

Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.

The duties of a teacher are neither few nor small, but they elevate the mind and give energy to the character.

Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.

To me, the avocation of a teacher has something elevating and exciting. While surrounded by the young, one may always be doing good.

Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.

Teachers shape so much of what a kid's upbringing can be.

Sure, just like there are bad lawyers, bad doctors and bad politicians, there are people who aren't cut out to be teachers. But by and large, the people who are called to be teachers are passionate about the profession.
