Teacher Appreciation Day 2013
Teachers have helped mold us into the people we are and continue to do so with each generation. Many hold multiple jobs to meet ends meet or pay for school supplies out of their own pockets. As The Huffington Post reported, a group of Michigan teachers have recently agreed to work for free until the end of the school year on June 23 — that’s more than a month without pay. When this group of dedicated teachers learned their school district had run out of funds, they voted to continue to teach their students.
