Hey you -- figured I'd take this off of a public medium. No tears necessary, but I don't think anyone tells you enough how vital you are to humanity. To shaping not just test scores, but a holistic human being capable of compassion and empathy and reason and justice. The world moves forward because brave souls continue to teach it how.

--

If you're not feeling that every single day, then please take this as a daily affirmation.

--
Our evolution depends on you, and it has never been in better hands.
--
I never get to say this enough to people who I think are doing truly important work. Your passion for teaching and the way you talk about things concerning education tells me those kids are getting what they deserve: the best.

--

I know it's tough sometimes. Keep at it.

Also just on the off chance this DIDN'T drive it home, you're a fantastic human being.
