Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Courtney is one of the most dedicated teachers I know. She is so passionate about her work. She is amazing with the kids, and she is always looking for new and fun ways to foster a desire to learn. Courtney genuinely cares for each of her students and strives to see them succeed. She is the kind of teacher that leaves a lasting impression, and I have no doubt that when her students are adults, they will look back and say, "Miss Courtney was my favorite teacher".
