Learner Dad: My kids won’t always love their teachers this much

"...they’re basically making people. Good people, if it all pans out. The world is a better place because of teachers..."

We were helping our two with a homework exercise the other day, where they had to write down the adults they would talk to if something scary happened to them. I’m happy to report that both of them put me on their list, and my wife made the cut as well. The other adult they both mentioned came as a surprise – they both said they’d talk to their teacher.

I don’t know why it came as a surprise . My kids love their teachers always have since they started school. I think I just forgot that kids spend six hours a day learning about the world from these professionals – no wonder there’s a bond.
