<h2>Appreciating Our Nation’s Teachers in 2024</h2>
<p> Countless individuals devote themselves to shaping the future of our nation through 
  education. According to 
  <a href="https://mdreducation.com/explore-the-data/" target="_blank">Dun & Bradstreet</a> 
  estimates, in the U.S., there are currently:
</p>

<ul>
  <li> 7.7 million educators </li>
  <li> 265,000 education institutions </li>
  <li> 115,000 K-12 schools </li>
  <li> 102,000 day care centers </li>
  <li> 6,400 higher education institutions </li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
</br>
<p> <strong>Great teachers teach about life.</strong> They don’t just write lesson plans, 
  explain subjects, and manage the classroom. They also help kids develop social 
  skills, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and resilience. They encourage, 
  guide, and inspire. 
</p>

<p><strong>Great teachers are continually learning.</strong> They have a passion for education and 
  always strive to improve. They have enough humility to learn from their students 
  and colleagues, as well as from their own mistakes.

</p>

<p><strong>Great teachers advocate for their students.</strong> They care deeply. 
They meet with parents, administrators, and other educators to ensure kids thrive. 
For many kids, they serve as a harbor amidst the challenges of family life, 
peer interactions, or economic strife.
