1. Thank you. It’s a simple but meaningful phrase that people in this profession just don’t hear often enough.
2. We appreciate you. Teachers and school staff don’t just teach or cook or counsel—they prepare us for the road ahead. Saying you appreciate that effort reminds teachers that their impact goes beyond the classroom.
3. Your sacrifices don’t go unnoticed. Those in education often give up their personal and family time to do parts of their job. And many people don’t realize teachers have to buy most of their classroom supplies out of pocket. Tell them their extra work means a lot to you. The compliment will certainly mean a lot to them.
4. You made this easy to understand. A teacher’s main goal is to teach. If they simplified something that used to be difficult for your kid to understand, let them know they’re good at their job. Better yet, have your kid tell them directly! Hearing the newly discovered confidence in your child’s voice will make the teacher so proud.
5. My child wants to learn more about this. These words are music to a teacher’s ears! Teachers love to learn and get excited when students share that enthusiasm. This is another compliment that will probably mean even more if it comes straight from your kiddo.
6. You truly care about the students. People who choose educational careers want to see students succeed and are honored to be a mentor. Tell them you can feel their support and that it doesn’t go unappreciated.
7. You’re making a huge impact. Let them know how much value they add to your family’s life. If it’s someone your child can’t stop talking about, tell them how much your child loves being around them! They spend so much time with their students, and many of them love to feel like they’re part of the family.
