My daughter and I just went out for breakfast. The waitress commented on my 6 year old’s book-and said she noticed that she is an advanced reader because she is a first grade teacher. Teachers work hard enough all week without having to serve pancakes on weekends. I always feel sad when I am reminded as to how much teachers, nurses, social workers, etc. are undervalued in our country. Now if only I could run into a politician working a drive thru window.
