It is good to see people honored for their hard work. And though I do not want to rain even a little on your award, it is hard not to be just a little sad for all the hard working teachers with whom I work daily -- teachers who will never receive the awards they so richly deserve -- being steadily villified by politicians and press. I never thought I would see this day when so many dedicated, wonderful humans would be subjected to such undeserved humiliation and deceit. Happy to see your world has not gone mad as has ours.
