Everybody wants to be appreciated, and everybody likes to feel appreciated. Showing kids how you appreciate them goes a long way, but teaching children how to be appreciative of others, I believe, will go further with them in life. I like the way Clark explores how administrators can show appreciation for teachers. Everything he says about administrators giving unconditional support, not over loading, asking for ideas, being fair, being an example of you expectations, open-door policy, respecting teachers’ time, and handling disciplinary matters is great and relatable information. I love the way Clark also adds appreciation given from teachers to administrators and from parents to the teachers. I always try to get a gift for my children’s teachers. I always give it to them and say, “this is just a little something for you, so you will know that we appreciate you and what you do for us.” As I said in my first sentence, everybody wants to be appreciated. I cannot every remember hearing someone say, “I love to be taken advantage of.” or “I love being used by others and I hope no one ever appreciates me.”
