The pandemic has been incredibly hard for teachers. First, schools were closed and teachers had to learn how to teach online. Physically returning to schools, which is what all teachers ultimately want, has been fraught with frustration and many new rules and boundaries.
Through it all, teachers have been working hard to connect with and teach their students. Donald Gee is a student at Georgia Tech University, he grew up in Johnston, and he’s a big fan of teachers. Even before the pandemic, he wrote a song called, “Thank you Teachers."
