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

Mrs. Kibbe is a great teacher. She presents the material in various ways and makes it easily accessible for students. She deserves to be recognized because she does so much more than teach 8th-grade science. She teaches her students invaluable life skills. This includes how we treat each other, effective problem solving, and how to communicate to get one’s needs met. She also consistently shows up for them outside of the classroom and expresses that she believes in them.
