today ... kudos to all you teachers out there, whether it be any type of school, musical instrument instruction, whatever ...
I especially congratulate school teachers at EVERY level, because your job is probably the most difficult it has ever been, for any number of reasons ...
Thank you, and to paraphrase a popular song title "How Do You Keep The Dedication Playing?"

I'm a retired teacher and former NJ Natioal Guardsman. Teaching today is super demading and with people like wacko NJ Gov. Christie they are being demeaned all the time. On the front of my keyboard I have a patch that reads ;

"If you can read this Thank a teacher,
If you are reading it in English Thank a Vet"

Next to it I have an Americaan Flag
