Which of your teachers do you remember best? What has set them apart from the rest? Most people say they remember a teacher from their school days who made a difference in their lives, an AP-AOL News poll found. For many, that teacher connected with them on a personal level far beyond the class subjects.
There are three teachers I can instantly bring to mind - all for different reasons: Mrs Tremble (Grade 7/Primary School - she always let me take the chalk ends for my younger brother; and it was in her class that I learned to read upside down - although this is not something she set out to teach us - we didn't have enough books to go around and some of us had to s'it on the other side of the desk to follow along in books. This is a valuable skilll - and a great party trick!); Mr White (8th Grade/High School English teacher - who our class made a complaint against for inappropriate comments and was replaced); and Mrs Holland-Batt (9th/10th/11th year Commercial subjects and Home Room/High School - who was wonderfully encouraging, and treated us like adults - and NEVER called us cabbages - the way Miss Russell our Year 9 French teacher did - funny I had forgotten her name until just then.)
