A teacher visited a father to talk about his child.
“I am not a novice,” the teacher began. “I’ve been at this profession for twenty-five years.”
“You don’t look it.”
"What do you mean?” the teacher asked.
“You look healthy. Among Jews it is a known fact that after teaching for a few years brings on a weak heart or TB.”
One of the most unfortunate things is life is when those who educate are under-appreciated. According to Torah and the great Sages of the past, teachers are to be revered on a par with parents! Even today it is customary to stand when a teacher enters into a room at yeshiva.
