It takes a special type of human to become a teacher. To choose that line of work and then to follow through and actually survive every day is bravery at its best. Your class is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get. It might be a mix of sweet, salty, sour, soft and hard, but many teachers will admit that despite the struggles, their work brings them great joy. They’re shaping and molding the next generation. And they deserve all the thanks in the world.

Bored Panda has put together a list of the best in a nod to all the teachers out there doing the most to survive and make sure our children thrive.
