“Susan is my wife. She has been teaching for over 20 years. This past year has been like no other, but yet my wife has not only done her very best to help her students learn, but she goes above and beyond all that has been thrown at her. People don’t realize how much time and effort teachers are putting in because of the pandemic. My wife, bless her heart, is so concerned about her students and how hard it is to learn under these trying times.
I give a shout out to her and all the other teachers who continue to do the job that at times is so under appreciated.”
