This cartoon is dedicated to all the great teachers I know now and who taught me then. Teachers like Kim Humphreys, Rebecca Robles, Michael Mehle, Cheryl Wolf, Michelle Worden and Melanie Dressman are among the heroes reaching the kids of today. Mrs Lockett, Mr. Parr, Mrs Frost, Mrs Fultz, Dr. Leonard, and Mr. Card helped to shape the students of my generation. I know you have some who shaped yours. I hope you’ll think about e-mailing a few of them today’s cartoon and telling them how much they meant to you or how much they mean to your own kids. Feel free to share your list of favorite teachers right here in the comments section. Let’s make it Teachers are the real Heroes day!
