Craig writes:Definitely included, in my opinion. Teachers are important, but so are the people who are helping them. No need risk anyone feeling slighted. The more inclusive your appreciation, the better.

These people are just as important as the teachers because without them quite often our children wouldnt get the education they deserve.
