What comes with Teacher Appreciation Week for educators is often discounts at stores, free dinners, coffee, donuts and a multitude of gifts and surprises from students and parents.  But during all other weeks throughout the school year, teachers are also dealing with the challenges of a lack of resources, low pay and inconsistent support from school administrators.  Tonight, we hear from teachers about the work that they do and the support that they need to be their best.
