Do you ever notice when watching a kindergarten teacher cross the street with her class, she stands directly in the middle of the road? Kindergarten teachers have the natural yearning to protect your child, even at the expense of their own lives. I was one of those teachers that would have risk
ed my own life for those of the kids in my class.
That being said, I wasn't always treated kindly by parents. A parent was once irate with me because her son cut his hair in my classroom. It's petty. That same kid, I would have jumped in front of a speeding car, if coming at my line of crossing kids.
So, please treat your teachers with the kindness, compassion, and respect that they deserve. Your child is your world and for 7-8 hours out of the day your child is the world to his or her teacher.
Hug your children, first and foremost. But, please, don't forget to hug your child's teachers, too.

(Mrs. Oltman speaking now: For the record, I am SO blessed to have parents at school who care so much about the teachers and the education we offer in our little town. The past events have hit the nerve of nearly every teacher in America and perhaps the world. As a mom and teacher, it has been overwhelming. My earlier post portrays that. Thank you for the best job in the world! Thank God for the promise of his return...whenever that may be.)
