The entire United States education system went over a sudden and drastic overhaul in the past year. Teachers suddenly needed to become experts at keeping their student's attention online, competing with video games, other websites, and even the simple refusal of an entire classroom to turn on their cameras so they are left teaching a silent room without minimal response. And yet teachers still go to work, attempting to be everything to their students- a source of learning, entertainment, comfort, and support.
In this episode, we opened our lines for listeners of Town Square to share their stories of their favorite teachers. Phones rang off the hook with listeners expressing their gratitude and the life-changing impact teachers have had on their lives. Some educations set some of our listeners on a path to becoming a doctor or a lawyer, and another who shared how simply voting for their preferred, and losing candidate, cemented a lesson in conviction.
Teachers also called in to remind us that appreciation, from students, parents, and administrators, can go a long way as they guide the next generation of Americans.
Guests:
