No more reading comments on education articles.

GET IT IN YOUR HEADS PEOPLE.

POVERTY IS THE NUMBER ONE ENEMY OF EDUCATION, NOT TEACHERS.

It used to really bother me when I would read negative comments about teachers such as “they’re just lazy and teaching is so easy plus they get the summers off!” But now, it drives me because one day the world will understand that there would be nothing without teachers.  They are the ones that help to inspire eager students to strive for their dreams and reach the unreachable. They are the ones that put the tools in student’s hands and leave them with the promise that they CAN do it.  I will forever stick up for us teachers because we deserve the recognition.
