An educator’s job is often demanding, stressful, and overwhelming. This year, only 34% of the teachers in the U.S. said they were satisfied with their jobs. The pressure is real. They are responsible for shaping the minds of the future generation, after all. So, since the new school year is already upon us, let’s show our teachers some appreciation with this list of wholesome interactions between them and the parents of the children they teach. It’s like the Dalai Lama said: “When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.” “If teachers feel valued in society and by media and policymakers, their job satisfaction will increase and thus [they will] make more efforts to adopt new ideas and methods to change and improve their schools,” he explained. These ratings are almost the highest they’ve been in 50 years. Still, people don’t view teaching as a desirable profession. When asked whether they’d like their children to become teachers, 62% of the respondents said ’no.’ It seems that parents understand how hard a teacher’s job can be, and few wish their children to experience that.
