What To Write in a Teacher’s Appreciation Day Card - Teacher’s Appreciation Day Messages & Quotes

Teacher’s Appreciation Day Greeting Card Messages And Quotes

It is often said everyone in your life comes into it to teach you something. Even that disorganised teacher who rambles on, often trailing off topic into a weird mumble whilst the class screws round and seemingly learns nothing. They too are teaching you something. Patience. And to listen, even when you think what you’re listening to isn’t worth listening to.

How to Create the Perfect Card - Examples

It’s good practice for when you start working and have a meeting every other day on fiscal policy or have the same health and safety message drilled at you every day for a month. And these teachers, whether actual teachers, or other mentor/coach types, they should be thanked for doing their jobs. Even if you don’t yet realise it, they have taught you in one way or another.

And if you luck out and get a really good teacher, one you enjoy listening to and turning up to their class. Even more important to let them know that they made a difference in your life, and to spur them on to stay in their underpaid, under-appreciated job just one more day.

Teacher’s Appreciation Day message examples:

Whilst having teachers you like may make you think just of them for Teacher’s Appreciation Day, the ones you don’t like are equally as important. Often the people we don’t like are there to teach us the hardest lessons – dealing with things we don’t like about ourselves, or making us learn patience, tolerance and understanding.

  • “One teacher’s lesson, is another student’s trial. One student’s learning, is another teacher’s nightmare. But everything is worth the experience.”
  • “If you can learn, that is good. But if you can teach, that is life changing.”
  • “Patience is a virtue. Intelligence is a gift. Utilising your virtue to pass on your gift is divine.”
  • “Everyone in your life can teach you something if you’re willing to listen and learn.”
  • “Love is pleasurable. Money is useful. But smarts will get you out of situations the other two fail to.”
  • “You don’t need to sit up straight to listen, but eye contact does show you are interested and paying attention.”
  • “I wouldn’t be where I am today if you hadn’t believed in my yesterday.”
  • “I may not agree with your methods, but I agree with your madness.”
  • “I really appreciate your endurance with the classes. You get knocked down, but you keep trying with us all. It does make a difference.”
  • “I mightn’t get the lesson now, but I know I will need it in the future. Thank you.”
  • “You becoming a teacher was the most wonderful and selfless thing you could have done. Thank you.”
  • “I hope your other students know how lucky they are to have you. Your compassion, wit and effervescence help the lessons be more enjoyable. Who knew you could make math fun.”
  • “I know we aren’t all little angels. You must get frustrated with us. We screw round. We talk out of turn. We don’t put our hand up. We don’t always pay attention. But we do learn in your class. And we do look forward to it. We’ll try to be better students.”
  • “1 + 30 = the best class. Yours.”
  • “Even though it has been over a decade since you taught me, I think I’ve finally got all the lessons, and wanted to let you know what a difference you made in shaping my life by being a part of it all those years ago.”

Teacher’s Appreciation Day message examples for mentors:

A teacher isn’t just someone up the front with chalk on a blackboard. As you enter the workforce it is not uncommon to have a mentor. Someone you can turn to that will help problem solve, help with managing relationships and frustrations and lead you down the best pathway to continued success. Whilst you may say a passing thank you for a small bit of advice, why not formalise it in a more robust message or card.

  • “I don’t thank you enough for your guidance and counsel. Sometimes, just having someone to vent to makes my day so much easier.”
  • “I really appreciate the time you take out of your hectic schedule for me and my minutiae.”
  • “First there were my parents. Then my high school economics and food teachers. And now there’s you. Thank you for all your guidance. You join a very special set of mentors in my life.”
  • “Every step up I take, I owe in part to you and your wise words.”
  • “Whilst I enjoy our coffee catch ups, I really appreciate the time you take to listen to me whinge, the thought you take before you propose a strategy to overcome, and the understanding and faith you have in me to success, even when I fail.”
