Do you remember who first taught you about our great American tradition of freedom, equality for all, and the liberties we enjoy in this country? Probably not, but, undoubtedly, you owe some gratitude to a schoolteacher.
Unfortunately, teaching is an under-appreciated profession. Most teachers must moonlight or have second careers during their summer breaks to make ends meet. We think that throwing or kicking a ball around is worth a lot more money than educating our children and training the next generation, who will sometime soon be running the country.
