Teachers don't get enough credit for the work they do.

Luckily, there's Teacher Appreciation Week to show some small measure of gratitude to the people who shape the world's future: our children.

This year's Teacher Appreciation Week, which runs from May 6 to May 10, will feature many businesses, big or small, offering special promotions and discounts to give thanks to the educators with the thankless jobs.
