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

Marlene is a hard worker and dedicated, compassionate and caring. I remember when she started her career. I have worked with some of her students and all they do is rave about her. Mrs. Filosa goes above and beyond every day and truly cares for each student as if they were her own. This has been told to me by her previous students and knowing her for as long as I have I know this is true. She deserves to be recognized for her achievements and all the work she has done in making a difference where a lot has changed.
