Teachers are the backbone of the education system and without them, the world would be a very different place. We all remember one or more teachers that have made a difference in our lives and it’s always amazing when they remember us years later. Just like this retired kindergarten teacher that wrote a letter to one of her students over 30 years later, they can be as happy for our success as we are.
But getting a note from the teacher can be a dreadful feeling for any child. Fortunately, these teacher notes have an important message for parents but sprinkled with a little humor. Here are 17 teacher notes that would make any parent smile!
1) Getting handed teacher notes like this one while picking up your toddler from school is enough to make you want to burn the backpack. Check backpack? Please no.
2) Kids learn a lot of new “words” at home and school and often like to use them in creative ways. I wish I could have heard that poem!
