Many businesses are offering special discounts or freebies to educators as a way to celebrate teachers and thank them for their hard work.
In celebration of educators, here are eight special discounts or freebie offers exclusively for teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week — May 8-12:

Educators can also score 25 percent off the publisher’s list price during Barnes & Noble-designated “Educator Appreciation Days.”
- Aerosoles: Educators can score 15 percent off any footwear item priced $39.99 or higher by showing their school ID or a pay stub.
