Rarely takes a day off, let alone
demands one, often works 7 days/week, has never taken a sick day and never ever
gets summers off.
She works in the blazing heat,
freezing cold & is the one standing beside my daughter, when it's pouring
rain and the rest of us are huddled under an awning.
She picks my daughter up, when her
pony dumps her and drops her off, when she needs a ride home.
She shares her potato chips, fixes
my daughter's clothes, gives her clothes, braids her hair, and lets her sleep
over.
She encourages and corrects my
daughter, patiently talks her through everything, and doesn't use red pen.
She hangs out with my daughter every
time there's no school and is on-call 24 hours/day for pony injury or illness.
Most importantly, she genuinely
cares about my child's future and would never hold it for ransom.
She is thoughtful, not to mention exceptional, in everything
she does, because she loves her job and loves children.
My wish for the children of Ontario?
I wish the Elementary Teacher’s
Federation of Ontario would get even a teeny-tiny bit of inspiration from
people like this who really do put children first.
