Teaching is not an easy job in this timeline even with technology to help along the way. Today's teachers have to recognize students' special needs - intellectual and emotional - in an ever challenging society where education guidelines must parallel changing times. Additional challenges include dealing with budget, parents, and administration. It's never easy. This week we honor your service to the teaching profession in its many forms. Education = Evolution.

National Teacher Appreciation Day - In the News

Happy National Teacher's Appreciation Day to my fellow teachers through traditional education and metaphysics.

We are all students and teachers forever on a quest for answers - from the simple things in our lives to those that challenge humanity. We experience and learn in the hourglass (our class) of Time if not we would not exist at all. To all of my fellow friends and teachers - the career you have chosen is challenging but if you change the lives of your students for the better, then you have made a difference to be proud of.
