Have you thanked your teacher this year?

Every year at this time, I like to remind people to take a moment -- even have their children take a moment -- to write a note of thanks to their teachers.

"Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task." -- Haim Ginott

"Public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid." -- Tracy Kidder

"Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition." -- Jacques Barzun

"Teachers appreciate being appreciated, for teacher appreciation is their highest award." -- William Prince
