‘The View’ Reunites Teacher With Former Students From The Past 40 Years | The View 

What a very touching segment on the View. They should do this more often. Teachers should be celebrated.

This made me tear up. Teachers can make such an impact, pay them well!

Now THAT'S what you call leaving a legacy. *tears for days*

I was so fortunate to have been one of her students!!!! I still remember her kindness and generosity. It is such an honor to have been one of the first classes she EVER taught at Livingston School!! Congratulations on your retirement.

Phenomenal segment!!! I have been a public school teacher for over 30 years, and this is so inspirational!!!

I am in tears, with all her students there. That a lot of patience ❤

Mrs. Dorothy Moreno was the teacher who made a difference in my life

This is a slam dunk by the View! Much respect to the educators and teachers out there - they deserve much more compensation and elevated location status than American history has allowed them!

Joy is absolutely correct about teachers being underpaid and under appreciated.💕They are the glue that holds our country together and deserve more money, just to start

I’ve only been a teacher for 13 years and this has me bawling 😭

What a wonderful teacher 🥲

This was one of the most beautiful and touching segment!!! I was emotionally crying for her ❤❤❤

I’m crying, are you? Such a wonderful segment

Everyone taking of their masks to reveal she inspired them as their teacher and her husband as well. This was a beautiful segment. Bravo to her and all the wonderful teachers whom make differences in so many lives daily. 💙💙💙.

I love when people get their flowers while they are alive!!!❤🙌🏾

As a former career teacher, your students become part of your “daytime” family- more than just a name. This segment was very touching for me.

My little boy has ADHD I don’t know what I would’ve done without Mrs. Young ❤ 1st grade. I so much appreciate you and all the teachers do for our children, bless you all . Have a wonderful vacation!

This was an amazing surprise honor. Good educators change lives and deserve more respect, higher pay than they get in the U.S. Keep standards high and *pay them.*

It's so hard not to cry...we really need to appreciate our teachers for real❤

what an emotional show. when i was a kid my elementary teachers are the people in my life that guides me to achieve an education that could change my life forever, both my parents has no education, they only finished 3rd grade. I am the only one in my family who has a bachelor's degree because of the encouragement from my elementary school teachers that I took seriously. I remember vividly that whenever they can not see me in school they come to our house check with my parents if I am okay or not, most of my grade school teachers did it. Now I am a Registered Nurse and working in Operating Room doing surgeries every single day helping the sick people, and I owed this profession first and foremost to my elementary teachers. Thank you very very much to all teachers out there!

I'm bawling my eyes out right now. Thank all of the teachers for allowing you do daily

Thank you to all teachers for doing such a fantastic job.,

This segment of the View, really touches my❤ I cried like I lost one of my family's, it's nice to honor a out standing Teachers👍👏👏👏

Love this! Teachers deserve this kind of recognition more often! And of course to be paid more. Thank you teachers!!! ❤❤❤

This was an absolutely lovely segment. Fantastic salute to a class act educator❤️

OMG ❤ I had a knot in my throat the entire time. My heart would be so full. Loved this segment!!

This was the best ever! From a teacher to all teachers -BRAVO!

Wow what a great segment! More of this please! Teachers are some of the best people in the world!

Who is cutting onions 😢😢😢 God bless all the teachers we've met along the way

We are not treating our teachers with professionalism and respect and this will ultimately hurt our children. Why not put the energy directed at book banning toward supporting our schools and teachers?

One of the best segments they have ever done.

Absolutely fabulous celebration today!🎉🎊40 years is an amazing teaching career🎊🎉💐💞☮️☯️I was in tears as her students sang her praises!👏👏👏👏

Congratulations on your retirement. I had 3 teachers change the trajectory of my life after it went off the rails when my mother died my junior year. From that day to this at 43 years of age...with children of my own...I have thanked them many times over the years because I was lost. Always remember...ONE person can change your life simply by not giving up on you. You can be that change for someone else. You ARE important. You DO matter. Thanks to ALL Teachers and educators!📢📢📢 🙏🏿💪🏿🖤

Its always confused me how quickly respect for teachers went so far down hill.

Did I just cry ! This is all humanity is to be about ! So much kindness and love ❤️

My mother was a teacher in Northern VA. She had a lot of really poor kids in her class. Most would come to school, hungry, some with urine on them from sleeping on the same mattress as their brothers and sisters. My mom donated all of our clothes (me and my younger siblings) to her students and she often fed them. My mom got in trouble for giving the parents of some of her students her address so they could come and pick up furniture and books and whatever else they needed.

Thank you Miss De Baere! I'm sorry it's probably been difficult to buy all your own classroom supplies and not getting paid great in the first place, but we thank you and all teachers.

I’ve been watching The View since it started and this has to be one of the best segments I’ve ever seen on the show! I quit teaching years ago to start a new career and I’ve been missing the classroom lately. This segment brought happy tears to my eyes!😂 It’s important to reach out to people in certain careers to let them know they are appreciated and valued (teachers, nurses, police and fire workers, mail carriers and many more)…their jobs are crucial to the success of our nation!

I cried. This was elevating.

This is the best thing you guys have put out this year. As a teacher's son, this has deep meanings for me. From Nigeria with love

My gosh, I cried too yes... Fabulous absolutely deserving as a long time educator. God bless you Madam. 🙏

This is wonderful! Thank you for spending 40 years with our children and shaping their lives. May God richly bless you.

How lovely. I’m in my late 30’s but always fondly remember my favourite teachers

The best thing I've seen on The View in a long time. Bravo.

I had a teacher like Miss debear in my life and just watching this just makes my heart Happy❤️

Boy, this segment had me in tears! I´m a mess! So so amazing!

This is so touching ❤ some teachers are in a sense like the mother or father a child never had. Teachers have such a significant role

Such a beautiful segment. I left teaching years ago but have never forgotten my students. It’s clear this woman is a remarkable teacher and left a positive impact on so many children. Teachers are not celebrated enough for everything they do.

Hire teachers to write until the strike is over. 😊

I wish every teacher would be celebrated like this! People don't go into a teaching career because of the money, it's their love of teaching and the kids they teach. Both of my sisters retired from teaching; one after 40 years and the other's career cut short (25 yrs teaching) by the abysmal education laws put in place in Wisconsin several years ago. They both have former students who've said these exact things and several they still keep in touch with. It breaks my heart people in this country don't recognize the everlasting value of wonderful teachers. This had me in tears from start to finish.

Good teachers deserve the world! So grateful for my son’s teachers.

What an amazing teacher! 👏

One of the problems is that kids AND parents don't respect teachers... I think of the cartoon/meme of the parents yelling at the student for something bad they did 40 years ago, but now they yell and blame the teacher for their kids actions.. We don't value/respect each other and kids are not taught to respect adults anymore! Thank you to all the wonderful teachers out there... We all wouldn't be who we are without you!!!!

Mrs. DeBaere was my 4th grade teacher in 1989. She was short even to a kid, but was a good teacher. I even talk about her to my kids

not gonna lie...this made me cry

I have been teaching for twenty years…and some of those years have been at my former middle school and high school….I cried all the way through this segment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m not crying, you are.

I bawled through this! So beautiful!

I had good teachers growing up. I used to give them Valentine's Day cards and candy just to say thank you 😊

Parents saw a whole different side of teachers during COVID

This made me cry! 38 years old and it immediately made me think of Mrs. LaPenta, Mrs. Failla, Mrs. Corbett (my K-2 teachers). They are still part of the fabric of my brain and soul. And I picture them in my memory alongside my closest family members because they had THAT MUCH of an impact on me. Bless you teachers. Thank you every, single, day.

Great teachers groom great citizens

What a awesome tribute!! Way to go View!

This was THE MOST Beautiful appreciation I have ever seen I could not stop crying it was so lovely

I loved this segment. I want to do this for one of my former teachers.

One of the best episodes ever!

❤ To all the teachers! My heart is open now.

Hats off to you Mrs. DeBaere that's what true teaching is all about you made a difference!!👏👏👏👏

I think I would be in uncontrollable tears... this was so very sweet

Tears rolling down my face. Todays society and many generations where both parents have to work to provide for there families. Teachers are responsible to educate there children and teach those children the fundamentals of LIFE--Teachers deserve so much more and rarely are given the credit they're SO deserving of, they shape the future for all of us God Bless

Love Joy trying to make room for all the flowers 🤣

Questions are the continuation of sharing information and the topic of "Teacher's Appreciation" is unquestionable. Their co-parenting, outside of the home, becomes a big part of how students aka children view and respond on life's journey. Thank you, for teaching us all. #Priceless

I love this show❤ Especially Sunny’s intellectual style 😊

Im in tears watching this

Wow! Congrats to her🎉❤

Beautiful. God bless you ma'am

Thank you for this. Loved hearing Mrs. DeBaere’s story. ❤ Teachers, thank you for making a difference in our future.

Now this is what the show is all about

Tears!!! Ugh! This was beautiful!!! Great segment ladies!!

🥦🟦⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️best part of my day🎉congratulations Ms. DeBaer

I'm over here Ballin my eyes out. She deserves it

Amazing segment. 🥺💕

We need to see more of these BEAUTIFUL stories! I salute you QUEEN! #BLESSINGS

The entire theater is there for her. That’s incredible.

What a wonderful appreciation momentous display of a job well done! Mrs D thank you enjoy!🎉❤😊

Just thought about my teachers ❤❤❤❤

I am an educator in Florida. Thank you for this segment and letting others know how teachers across the U.S. work tirelessly to educate students who enter our classrooms each year!❤❤❤🎉🎉

This was a great episode. I used to commute with a lady who was a second grade teacher. When the shuttle bus stopped at her school, some students would run to greet her. You could see how much her students loved her.

Why am I crying? 😢😢😢

this is on eof the best segments ever! had me in joyous tears!

this made my eyes water. ==== As a parent of 2 elementary school aged children -- I am so very very thankful for their teachers. They truly do the job out of love. They are the real heroes.

This is a tear jerker. Wonderful!

This was amazing. I can't stop crying

OMG so many tears! Absolutely touching!

This made me cry,😢. Mrs Debaere , Happy Retirement 🎉🎊🎉🎉🎊🎉🙏🍾🍾 Many blessings to you. One of the many wonderful teachers we have in Union Township NJ. Awesome for this recognition! 🙏🙏🎉🎊🎉🎊💕💕💕💕

this is so moving - wishing you Mrs DeBaere much happiness in your retirement - you will surely missed -

I love this so much!!! I'll be forever grateful to all my kids' teachers. Most were amazing!!

Yes, I'm crying 😢 This was simply beautiful

Well... I definitely didn't think The View would have me crying today.

That… was just what I needed.. ❤️ Thanks
