Opinion

I have always admired teachers and those who help them. Growing up in the seventies, I attended Viking Elementary and really liked my teachers and the teacher’s aides who taught me things I would need the rest of my life. Later in life I really admired these people and appreciated the help they had offered to me.The teaching profession must be very rewarding but also demanding. The last year and a half have been particularly demanding as teachers work with students in person and remotely. This week I met a very energetic paraprofessional with a long history of helping young people learn.
