Speak Out
Teachers deserve thanks
California Retired Teachers Week is Oct. 14-20. This week has been set aside to recognize the extensive volunteer efforts retired educators perform throughout the state--in excess of 1.7 million hours a year, valued in excess of $23 million.
Teachers are our unsung heroes. Many teachers coax, cajole and encourage excellence in their students. Maybe they saw some talent that the student himself didn't see and helped to nurture that into a life-changing activity. Some teachers were role models who inspired students to strive for more.
Retired Teachers Week would be a perfect opportunity to write or contact a former teacher who has made a difference in your life. I guarantee it would make that teacher's day.
