As the saying goes, if you are reading this, you can thank a teacher. And I, of course, can thank one for being able to write it. We owe much to the teachers in our lives for our abilities to do these things. It is fitting to have a National Teacher Day and a Teacher Appreciation Week. We fail to consider fully the power of our own literacy and of the startling halt our lives would come to on a daily basis without it. Of course, it is more than just reading and writing for which we are grateful. Somewhere along the way someone taught us something that remains a part of who we are today. And we are better for it.
It seems particularly important here on a blog devoted to the reading life to mark the occasion. To do so, I direct you to this post from last year.
