These 32 Amazing Teachers Truly Are Gifts To Humanity

Schools all across the country are celebrating the unsung heroes of our children’s lives during Teacher Appreciation Week.

As a child going through the school system, you might not be able to fully appreciate all that your teachers do for you, but as you get older, you’ll quickly come to realize that they aren’t just the homework police. In fact, many of my high school teachers helped inspire my career path today as both a writer and a teacher. Now as I walk the same halls I used to wander through as a kid, I can’t help but think back on all the good times.

I’m willing to bet that throughout your 13 or more years of schooling, there was at least one teacher who left their mark on you. To honor all the amazing work they do, let’s take a look at a few educators who are really going above and beyond to keep things fun in the classroom.
