NMI public school students talk about their teachers

The celebration continues within the CNMI Public School System for teachers, teacher aides, and instructors this Teacher Appreciation Week.

PSS educators are pampered with notes of appreciation from their students for making a difference in their students’ educational and personal lives. Here, students talk about how their teachers have inspired their successes in education.

They help me understand things. They teach me new things and they make us learn while having a good time.

Teachers make me understand math and other subjects. They have talked about how good we are if we use good manners. They tell us that we are smart.

Teachers are our second parents. They treat us with respect and encourage us to excel in school. Teachers help us become better citizens by teaching us things we need to know to become independent thinkers. Oleai teachers are committed, dedicated, and are just awesome!

They help me achieve my goals and improve my life. They’ve done so much like pushing me to achieve harder goals and actually accomplishing them.

She takes teaching seriously and she really acts like we are one of her children. She does her best in making us succeed on tests such as SAT10 and SBAs. She makes sure that we understand each process before moving on. Happy Teacher’s Appreciation Week!

I want to thank my teacher for teaching me everything I need to learn as I grow. Teaching me to read better, Teaching me to get along well with others and all I need to know as I go on to the next school years.
