Opinion: A tribute to teachers
Opinion: A tribute to teachers
When I was a kid, it never occurred to me that teachers were like the rest of us. I assumed they lived in special teacher enclaves. I was in middle school before I learned the truth. My illusions were shattered in the Model Market. Mama was checking out packages of chickens when, to my astonishment, I saw a teacher in the vegetable aisle. Flabbergasted, I whispered, “Mama! Look! There’s Mrs. Novak! She’s a teacher at my school!” Mama smiled, “ Oh, really? Do you have her for a class?” I said, “No, but what’s Mrs. Novak doing in the Model Market? Doesn’t she have her own place to shop?” Mama replied, “ Well, apparently she lives around here.” I was stunned. “ You mean there’s a teacher village around here?” Mama stopped inspecting chicken and looked very closely at me for a long moment. Then she said, “Honey, we need to talk.” 05/28/2023 12:00 AM
