son's first grade teacher that she was an awesome teacher and makes my son feel great and thanks for everything she does. She was so surprised and said, Thank you so much. Said I was only the second parent to say something like that to her tonight. It's the least I could do/say.

I mean, you don't need to say anything if they actually are a terrible teacher but most are at least decent at our school.

I don't think people compliment others enough in general. Growing up, my mom used to go around complimenting everyone and it's rubbed off on me as an adulthood. Feels good to compliment others, especially when they really deserve it.

Patting myself on the back time over.
