I read a story about a group of adults sitting around a table discussing life. One man, who happened to be a powerful CEO, started talking about the importance of teaching children to pursue a well-paid, successful career.

He said, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?” To stress his point, he looked at another guest and said, “You’re a teacher… be honest. What do you make?”

“You want to know what I make?” the teacher shockingly asked. The teacher paused for a moment and then replied:

“Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I make kids wonder. I make them question. I make them apologize and mean it. I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions. I teach them how to write, and then I make them write since typing isn’t everything. I make them read, read, read. I make them show all their work in math. I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe and secure. Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life. Do you still want to know what I make? I make a difference in all your lives, educating your kids and preparing them to become CEOs, and doctors, and engineers… what do you make?”

Here’s the way I see it: Guy Kawasaki said it best, “If you have to put someone on a pedestal, put teachers. They are society’s heroes.”

While table tents are most popularly used as a marketing tool to promote a product, event, or special, they can also be used as a practical tool to promote social distancing.

Social distancing table tents can be displayed on counters or tables in offices, restaurants, meeting areas, and other public places. They can be used as a helpful reminder to encourage people to distance themselves from others and use hand sanitizer and wear a mask.

Table tents can offer messaging on both sides, and when placed in hard-to-miss locations, table tents are sure to get noticed and read. And because table tents are so affordable, they can be replaced often to ensure proper hygiene.
