A Teacher's Valentine

Valentine's Day can be a depression holiday when you are single. Everywhere you look there are people celebrating their relationships. Even if you are secure with not being in a relationship, sometimes there is a part of you that wishes you had that special person to tell you how much they love you on the over sensationalized holiday. That is why Valentine's Day is one of the best holidays to be a teacher. It is a day to make your students realize that they are a special in their own unique way. It is a day to teach them about differences and accepting others. And that you don't always have to love or like someone, but you do need to treat them with respect and understanding. Also, the candy is an added bonus to a day filled with hearts and flowers!
