Because teachers prepare children for life. Because of the excitement that comes from seeing "the light go on" in a child's eyes. Because teachers start over each September with a new group of students. Because teachers have a positive impact on the lives of other people every single day. Because those who can - TEACH! Because, according to Helen Caldicott, peace activist and author, "Teachers are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth."
