Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Mr. Sajan, as all of his students call him, is a kind, compassionate teacher who cares tremendously about his students, and how well they do. He cares about his kids, no matter if they fool around a lot, or take the class seriously. He tries his absolute hardest to make sure his kids learn in his class and still manages to be a very kind and funny teacher.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

I want everyone to know that Mr. Sajan is going to do everything that he can as a teacher, and as someone who watches over his students to make sure that they learn in his class. If he notices something wrong with one of his kids, he won’t hesitate to ask. And one of the best things about him is how much he does to try to help his students. In class, whenever he can, he goes around to help his kids and answer their questions with an assignment. After a test, he gives a full report card highlighting what the student did well with and what they can do to improve next time. He is extremely dedicated role as a teacher and makes sure he does everything in his power to get his kids to be successful.
