RE: Helping my Wife Leave a Memory at her School

Hi Henrry!

This is great and so inspiring. It is true that teaching in the country is going through a terrible time, it is a pity that as a society we have not learned to value educators. It is a very beautiful gesture of your wife and her colleague and all of you who are helping them to leave a small legacy for the children who will go to study there.
By the way, I loved playing Twister when I was little.

Happy weekend! 🤗

Thank you.
Yes, it is a pity. Schools keep losing their best teachers. You can't press professionals to stay in low-pay jobs just "for the kids". Vocation alone cannot build a strong education system.
I know that for these two teachers leaving is a painful decision, but they must survive, raise their children, be healthy, and enjoy a life. Teaching, like many other professions have been stigmatized as "devotion" or "sacrifice". That has been suicidal for every country that keeps their teachers under poverty line.

On a different subject, I never played twister, but I've seen people playing it and it looks fun.

It is a sad situation, but teachers have every right to live in dignity and to provide themselves with a good quality of life and the teaching profession is so undervalued that it is becoming more and more impossible to practice it.

Twister is a lot of fun even for grown-ups. :)
