Teachers play an invaluable role in their students’ lives, not only teaching what is on the curriculum but also offering guidance, encouragement, and life skills that help their pupils thrive both academically and beyond. Although teachers don’t get paid directly for all they do in school or beyond – many companies show their appreciation by providing teacher discounts or offers all year long!
