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

In addition to the fact that ALL her students truly love and adore her, she puts her entire heart and soul into her occupation. She gives her time, effort and money out of her own pocket to better the lives and education of these children.

When the school day ends, children would prefer not to go home, but instead stay at school with Mrs. Slipek. I think that is all you need to know about the caliber of teacher she is.

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

She loves and cherishes each of her students as if they were her own family. When these children have a good day, or a bad day, their happiness or sadness comes home with Mrs. Slipek because she is so invested in their growth and success.
