We often talk regarding teacher burnout. However, it is useful to remember what motivates teachers to return to school and love their profession. Collected memories of teachers regarding the cutest signs of attention from students.
Don’t forget birthdays
“One day my elementary school student glued cartoon eyes to a cotton ball and gave it to me for my birthday. It was the only gift I received from the entire school, including colleagues.” Mikey M.
Take care of health
“A few years ago, in November, I went to work and got badly burned. The back of my hand was literally on fire. To avoid scars, I needed to constantly moisturize my hand. Then my student gave me a moisturizer for sensitive skin for Christmas. He said he wanted my hand to heal faster. It was very touching.” Shoban M.
Remember hobbies
“My former student went to an autograph session for Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird. She asked the writer to sign the book just for me and leave a sweet little message. I still keep it and consider it the most valuable thing in my house. Jul S.
Do not leave in trouble
“Ten years ago my son was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. My students (including those I graduated a long time ago) shaved their heads in solidarity and raised money for his treatment. My son beat cancer! Jill b.
Suddenly uplifting
“I had a really bad day one day and everything was going wrong. Suddenly, my student from the second grade came into the office and handed me a flower, which he picked on the way to school. Angela A.
Make sure teachers eat well
“My student found out that I love Indian food and asked my mom to cook me one of the Indian dishes for lunch. It was incredibly delicious!” Johnny Z.
Hugs on difficult days (and not only!)
“For the last 22 years, I have only worked with first and second graders. Every day children hug me – sometimes a whole crowd! And it’s great! Patricia V.
Invite to important events
“My students handed me a wedding invitation. It said, “You are one of the most important people in my life and I would love to have you with us on this special day.” I will never forget it.” Lori A.
Have a baby shower
“A group of my high school students gave me a surprise: they organized a baby shower. The children decorated the office with ribbons and balloons. In the corner of the room were cute baby clothes and toys – a gift for my unborn child. It meant a lot to me. I didn’t know then that following that day I wouldn’t be at school for another ten years.” Alisha O.
Think regarding teachers when they read announcements
“Many years ago, a student of mine came to school smiling broadly. She handed me a CD from some company saying, “The ad said give this to someone you love!” Twenty years later, I still have that CD.” Lisa L.
They extend a helping hand
“For several weeks I walked in an orthopedic boot. She came to work in it. My student, who was only four years old at the time, came up to me to help. He took my hand and led me to my chair. He only let me go following he made sure I got there safely. It was very nice.” Jill M.
Yes, and just become family
“I have been fortunate to build close relationships with many former students and their families. The mere thought that we have become an integral part of each other’s life is enough for me to feel the happiest.” Sean S.
