Summer is Here: A Time to Recognize the True Heroes — Our Teachers!
With just two weeks left of school, I’ve officially succumbed to the fidget spinner craze. My kids have been buzzing with excitement over their new toys, and let me tell you, that whirring sound has become the soundtrack to my evenings—three days in, and I’m already considering earplugs.
In light of this chaotic moment, let’s take a breather and appreciate our teachers, who have endured weeks of fidget spinners, noise, and countless challenges this school year. As summer approaches, it’s time to acknowledge that these remarkable individuals deserve a break—one where they won’t have to witness a kid dab, flip a water bottle, or concoct slime for a solid three months.
Teachers are the unsung saints of our society, and they certainly deserve all the chocolate and perhaps a glass of wine for their tireless dedication. While we know they’re not mere babysitters, they are pivotal in shaping our children’s futures, imparting knowledge in math, science, reading, and social skills. As we gear up for summer, I want to say a heartfelt thank you on behalf of all parents.
This summer feels like it snuck up on me, but I bet teachers are more than ready for a well-deserved break. After managing our kids—who can be a handful with their incessant chatter and occasional rebellion—it’s hard not to cheer them on as they finally close the classroom door for the last time this school year.
To our teachers, you become like second parents to our kids. You guide them through everything, from sharing personal space to developing important life skills. You show incredible patience, even when my child is acting up and not paying attention. I want to shower you with gratitude—hugs, gifts, and maybe a few “please don’t take a break” pleas, because I’m honestly unsure how I’ll survive the summer without your guidance.
As summer rolls in, I can’t help but think about what it’s like to manage a household full of children. I’ll be picking up after the same messy kids who leave crayons and wrappers strewn about your classrooms. The endless cycle of “Why is this wet?” and “Put away your towel!” will become my daily mantra, and I’ll be collapsing into bed at night, exhausted by my own voice.
I’ll be juggling the neighbor kids too, wondering who left that sock behind. Just like you, I’ll have to deal with the chaos, the bickering, and the constant demands for snacks. And let’s not even mention the challenges of keeping their brains engaged while they’re home. I’ll try to coordinate educational activities, and I can almost guarantee we’ll last a whopping three minutes before a meltdown ensues—likely mine!
As we dip into summer, I’ll think of you fondly when my attempts at crafts leave us covered in paint and sticky stuff, and I’ll remind myself once again that you are indeed saints for what you do. You manage the classroom like a pro, and it’s no small feat.
With only two weeks left before summer break, I realize I need to figure out how to fill my days with my three little whirlwinds. I’m not quite sure how to express my gratitude to you properly, but I know we’ll manage to survive this summer together—eventually, our kids will return to school, and I’ll be the one shouting “God bless teachers!” as I drive away.
As we embrace the summer, remember that teachers, you complete us.

They deserve appreciation, breaks, and perhaps a little chocolate for their hard work. As parents prepare for the summer chaos, they reflect on the challenges teachers face throughout the year. The transition from school to summer brings new challenges for parents, who will have to keep their kids entertained and engaged at home.
