Adult Education ESOL Student Quotes on Teacher Appreciation 

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Month, we asked students in the Adult Education ESOL classes at Catholic Charities Boston to share their thoughts on their teachers.  

Over 130 students responded, using their English language skills to explain just how patient, kind, and wonderful their Catholic Charities teachers are. Some highlights are shared below.
 
Thank you to all teachers who are making a difference in the world and helping people of all languages and backgrounds achieve their goals and dreams.
