You can identify a doctor by the 'Dr.' before his name, an army captain by the 'Capt.' before his name or a judge by the 'Justice' before her name. And there are many more such noble professions that come with titles, in honor and respect of the job these people do.

But what about the profession that makes all these professions? Our teachers.

If a doctor can have a title of Dr., why shouldn't a teacher be given the title of Tr.? They work tirelessly to shape children's futures, with absolutely no expectations of being recognized or rewarded. Doesn't that, perhaps, make teaching the most noble and selfless profession of all?

It's about time we gave teachers the honor and identity they truly deserve. Sign this petition to help make 'Tr.' an officially recognized title for teachers.
