02/07/2007 | I was the only Jewish girl in my class and my fourth grade teacher, Carolyn Coyle, treated me like I was a member of her Christian Church, not like the children. When the other kids taunted me and picked on me, she was always there like a second mother. She came to my defense, reminding the other children that Jesus was Jewish, just like I was, and that they should treat me the way they would treat their savior if he was in our class. I appreciated that. The teacher I had the next year wasn't so kind. |

02/07/2007 | Ms. Phyllis Fine, she taught me so many things , and opened so many doors for me, and I was only in the 3rd grade. I recently ran into her, and she said out of her 40 years of teaching, I was her favorite. If she only knew how long I carried her wisdom and words, and will continue to do so. |

02/07/2007 | My third grade teacher made me feel pretty special. She always bragged to people about how pretty my name was.
I really got in trouble when we had a sub. I kept saying, "Mrs. Brannon doesn't do it that way." Could you imagine how angry the sub got. LOL |

02/07/2007 | Jack Frenchum - my English Lit/Language teacher in my secondary school, 4th and 5th and 6th year - so 14-17 age group.
a stickler, yet a lively and dramatic teacher who would have done well as an actor. i remember him best for his jumping up on desks and spouting Shakespeare as we studied one of the plays, lol. he brought it to life - plus he had an elizabethan beard. although i'd always loved to read, he instilled a love of the SOUND of words in me - showed us about the importance of stresses and pauses, the music that resided in the words of Shakespeare (among others). whenever i think of him i smile. |

03/07/2007 | Peter Coulsdon, history teacher from ages 8 to 12, got me into my first academic love, History, which at that age is realy just stories.
Roy Iremonger, English teacher from 12 to 16, only man i know who can interest a group of brooding tennage boys in Shakespeare.
Announced the bard to moans and groans, highlighted his main topics (sex, drugs violent and bloody murder) to alert intent faces. Then charged headlong into the scottish play, followed by watching Polanski's film version, i never looked back! |

03/07/2007 | My mom taught me the spirit of writing early on (either through her DNA or her aura), so that's where I got my writer's soul.
My fourth grade English teacher taught me the basics of writing, so that's where I got my writer's art.
My fifth grade English teacher (who was also my art teacher) was the first to compliment me on my writing (and my art), so that's where I got my writer's personality.
My high school English teachers fused all three of my components. |

03/07/2007 | As many of you guys have noticed here I should have paid more attention in English and Launguage Arts... Although I have always been a good student...( yeah right!!!!) My favorite teacher was my 6th grade art instructor. I think I was his pet and we actually had some very artistic moments together , he taught me alot and forever was encouraging me to open up and release "the artist inside you" as he called it. telling me to put some soul into it.. I am so thankful today for he broke the fear of the redpen and made me realize that my pieces may not be perfect but they are part of me that need not be perfect for other's to appreciate them.. |

04/07/2007 | But there is one teacher I fondly remember- his name was Fr. evarist- he as a belgian priest but he was cool as in way cool coz he smoked right in front of our guidance office- he taught us in abnormal psychology and h boy, I learned a lot. His exams can make or break you He just gives two questions but it will take you 3 hours to answer it. He focused on critical thinkng and he HATED memorization I treasure my grade of 79 (B-) from him. |

04/07/2007 | Mr. Krom. Very few students liked him... he could be hard. But I really enjoyed his classes. And he didn't complain about my short essay answers. Had him for 10th grade English. And when the opportunity came up to take one of his classes in 11th grade, I jumped on it. |
