Our Annual Teacher Appreciation Week Episode

Poem: “Like Snow” by Wendell Berry 

Statement of the Whole: In our annual “Teacher Appreciation Week” show, we discuss what it means to appreciate, to show honor to, our teachers.  What is the difference between a gift of honor and a gratuity?  Why did Socrates warn against paying teachers for their teaching?  What does Christ’s distinction between the shepherd and the hireling have to do with teaching?  All this and more is discussed in an attempt to appreciate what teachers do.
