You are an amazing teacher, I can tell already. I have huge heaps of respect and admiration for teachers like you who have the power to change people's lives and do. I've had some awesome teachers in my school days, and it makes me so mad when others don't appreciate them. They most definitely helped me get to where I am (in grad school, zomg!) and helped to develop who I am. Teachers are awesome. ♥
And also, I can totally relate to being in an under-appreciated profession. I am a librarian-in-training and we are in pretty much the same boat. Everyone just wants to Google everything now and has no understanding of what librarians actually do. Even my own dad and stepmom disapprove of my professional choice (though thankfully almost everyone else I know is more supportive). So, from one downtrodden but inspired professional to another, rock on! \o/
