You are my teacher whose splendor is rife.
In time of difficulties in my existence,
You lend me you ears and heart with persistence.

You are the world’s most splendors!

And advise their faults

Inspire a Love

As you light the path
Which leads our youth

For our future brightens
with each lesson you teach
Each smile you lengthen
Each goal you help reach

For the dawn of each poet
each philosopher and king
Begins with a Teacher
And the wisdom they bring.

“Why God Made Teachers”

When God created teachers,
He gave us special friends
To help us understand His world
And truly comprehend.
The beauty and the wonder
Of everything we see,
And become a better person
With each discovery.

When God created teachers,
He gave us special guides
To show us ways in which to grow
So we can all decide
How to live and how to do
What is right instead of wrong,
To lead us so that we can lead
And learn how to be strong.

Why God created teachers,
In His wisdom and His grace,
Was to help us learn to make our world
A better, wiser place.

Teachers come and teachers go,

But few teachers are so well loved,
remembered because they are so dear.
Teachers teach us lessons,
we could never learn alone.
They guide us, and they lead us,
out of our comfort zone.
You have gone over and beyond,
and taught me quite a lot.
And you even had faith in me,
when you knew that I did not.
You changed my world,
and you’ve changed my view.
And for that I’d like,
to say, “thank you”.

“You’re An Inspiration”

You have been an inspiration,
to all of those you taught.
As the knowledge added up,
the more of it we sought.
The more I learn through all the years.
The more it takes away my fears.
I gained confidence,
and began to soar.
And built strength,
down into my core.
For all of this I have you to praise.
For teaching me your amazing ways.
Thanks for all the gifts,
and my future life ahead.
And all the wonderful things,
that you put into my head.

Teacher Appreciation Week is also important for parents because they know how the teachers deal their time to educate their children. In California USA of San Dimas, parents with a number of other parents in their specific community have taken their time sending teacher appreciation gifts for their kids teachers in honor and appreciation.

For parents, the way of giving gifts to their kid’s teachers is not bribe; this is their simple way of thanking the teachers on their very special day in school- teachers appreciation day/ week. Parents in California heeded the importance of the teacher’s primary role in the society, plus the security of making sure that their kids will receive quality education.

Around the country, the first whole week of May is acknowledged as the teacher appreciation week by California’s National PTA way back in the year 1984. When the celebration takes place, the entire week each year is full of fun. Innumerable school districts take time to articulate how thankful they are to the teachers all across the nation.

However, according to a parent who had joined the commemoration that thanking and appreciating teachers is not that enough to guarantee their kids quality education, knowing the hardships that teacher face in their profession. The parent in the interview said that the 3 man problem of teachers in California that affects significantly the educations of their kids are: program cuts, overcrowded classrooms, and staff layoffs.

Even if the teacher in charge in the classroom is dedicated to do his/ her job; to teach the kids as best as he / she can if the 3 aforementioned problems occur in the classroom or in school, how do you expect the quality education?
That is why with all the issues faced by the nation in concern to education and the teachers, teachers deserve more than just a simple thank you on teacher appreciation week , they need a secured job, educational programs that students get benefits from, and of course, to make their teaching easier such as reducing students number in one classroom.
