Instill respect for teachers.
My mom was a teacher - I have the greatest respect for the profession - we need great teachers - not poor or mediocre ones.
As a practicing Jew I have studied with Christian teachers whom I respect for who they are and what they are including their positive concern with Jews and Judaism.
I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for.
What we want for our students we should want for our teachers: learning challenge support and respect.
Teachers deserve respect " I explain. "Why do they get it for free when everyone else has to earn it?
