The Importance of Teachers

Teachers are important in society as they have the resources to teach students what we as a society have deemed as important and foundational within their success. It is also important to remember that often, teachers spend the most time with your children and can have lasting impacts on their students. Attached below are some of my favourite videos showcasing the importance of teachers and the roles they play years later.
