Hi. We're the blue boxes. You know us. You love us. On #ThankATeacherDay , we wanted to say Thanks to all the teachers who submit topic requests, so we aren't left empty and alone. From the bottom of our big blue hearts... Thank you, teachers. We love you too.

It's National #ThankATeacherDay🧑‍🏫 Did you have an inspiring teacher/support staff? For @educationgovuk @getintoteaching, I explained why I changed careers from investment banking & chartered accountancy to education & maths teaching. I'm a proud teacher & patron @UKThankATeacher. Thank you to all my educational establishments @stbons @NewhamLondon @Eton_College @UniofOxford @lmhoxford @Hughes_Hall @EmmaCambridge @Cambridge_Uni @RoyalHolloway #Teacher #ThankATeacher
