World Teachers Day

[OrangeOrBlackcurrant]

It's World Teachers Day.
Having had DC in the education system for 15 years with another 10years still to go can I just say a huge thank you.
Yes, along the way, I have encountered some shit teachers but they have been far outnumbered by the amazing teachers who have gone over and above to help my DC through some horrendous times and have been so so amazing
So, thank you, thank you, thank you
