1. Mrs. Ashcroft was my 3 and 4th grade teacher. I was there after school in the class for an hour extra, too, as she was my after school care (which was very generous of her, since that wasn't done then where I lived and my mom worked). I was an advanced and very fast reader and she loaned me hundreds of great books- clean adult fiction (alot of sci fi) and non-fiction books on anything I was interested in. And she would have real discussions about them with me, not like I was a student, but actually talk about our thoughts on the books. Really let my mind stretch.
Thank you for the contest and the stroll down memory lane.

This is my #1 post, but will be post #23 unless someone beats me to it.
Mrs Reilly was my 6th grade English teacher. She was from Ireland and the sweetest woman. She encouraged me in my creative writing skills. She also wore some cool cloths, and have some hand me downs to me and my friend.

My high school English teacher Mrs. King. I've been a book worm for as long as I could remember, so I had already read most of the books we had to read for class. She was wonderful about finding alternative books for me to read, and introduced me to a world of writers I might never have found otherwise!
Thank you for the contest!
My favorite would have to be Ms. Riley! She took the time to individualize the class so that everyone somehow was interested! It was so open and fun! I remember reading the book, The Outsiders and that was probably the only time in school that I enjoyed talking about a book! I still love books to this day!

My 6th grade teacher Mrs. Lee. I was an avid reader and would hide books I was reading inside my schoolbooks and pretend I was studying. I thought I was getting away with something but found out later she knew it and thought it was great that I liked to read so much that she let me get away with it.
My Highschool Science /physics teach Mr Jackson. He always found fun and interesting stories to explain theories or how he tested them he kept school fun while still being very educational. I will always remember him as the best teacher I had.
Thanks for the contest
Thanks for the contest
My 4th grade teacher. First male teacher I had. Mr dyer. Was obsessed with Superman
#1 I would have to say my 4th grade science teacher. He was open to so many ideas and allowed us to express ours freely. I still think about the things that he brought up and the questions he posed, they changed my way of thinking and got me thinking outside of the box.

Mrs. Rowland was my 7th and 8th grade english teacher. Most everyone hated her, because she expected so much from us. Her yard was rolled every halloween and she would sit on the porch and laugh, and would always tell everyone that she never ever had to buy TP. She picked on me, specifically, though, or so it seemed. It took me a while to understand it, but I'd write a paper that would be better than any paper in the class, and she'd give me a C. When I'd ask about it, she would tell me that it was because she knew I could do better. I didn't really hate her, because she was interesting, but I did feel like she picked me out to mess with. When we got to high school, we were shocked, because, well, we already knew all of that stuff. As a matter of fact, every one of us coasted through high school, because, by the time Mrs. Rowland got done with us, we were ready for college. One thing we all missed was the weekly Paul Harvey shows that she would play.
I visited her some years later at her house, as a new mother, and she made dinner for me, the whole time giving me tips about how to cook on a budget. But while she was at it, she reminded me over and over that I was not destined to be just a housewife and mother. She reminded me that she prepared me for college, and she fully expected me to go. She was the first person in my life who saw my potential and told me what she expected from me. She was the #1 reason I went to college as soon as my daughter started kindergarten.
I had several teachers who really inspired me and influenced me in college, but she was the one who got me there, and college was a life-changing experience for me.

#1 My 3rd grade teacher Mr. Dantwono was the best teacher I ever had. He always made the class fun and exciting. He would bring all kinds of things in from animals to elec gadgets..I remember him bringing in a sony walkman no one had ever heard of it..he let every kid listen to it. He invited the whole class to his wedding ..who does that on a teachers salary...I will never forget him.
#34 Dr. Ragland for A&P. He was brilliant and he really loved what he was teaching. I learned more in that class than any other. He also wrote me a recommendation. He was such a great guy who really wanted to see his students succeed.

Mr. Ridgway, my high school band director, made all the difference in my life. for many of us, he was much more than a teacher, but a father and a friend too. he was always there cheering us on, listening when we just needed support, and helping us to reach our fullest potential both academically and just as awkward kids trying to learn to grow up.

Well I suppose I'm much different than most people in this thread I really didn't have any teacher that impacted me that much. There are some that stand out in my memory for good reasons and some otherwise. But one class that I remember that was kinda cool was high school biology, I don't remember the teacher's name but he worked part time for a local biotech company and was able to get them to donate old machines so our class was better equipped than most public high schools. We got to do a lot of cool experiments that most kids didn't get the chance to do. So I enjoyed high school biology more than most
Sorry, that's it, that's all I got

I had a high school English teacher that not only tought me about literature but tought me about life. He made things that seemed not to have meaning, have some. We had an assignment to write a paper on the lyrics of a song that we liked and what it ment to us. It gave me the freedom to think about things in a way that made scence to me. Not just what the commonly conceived meaning is.

Teacher: Mr. Hallagan, music/choir teacher. Mr. Hallagan was a spirited, wild and funny Irishman. He always had us laughing and truly made everyone enjoy music - and his class. He allowed (and encouraged) everyone's creativity in both music and art ... and helped me with mine as well. He taught that it's okay - express yourself ... and BE yourself.
He may be one reason I paint in the style I do ... and also gave me the confidence and creativity to compose the many songs I have. We all loved Mr. Hallagan. He was killed shortly after my graduation ... he tried to break up a fight between two students - jumped right in the middle of them and was killed by one of them. It was truly a great loss to all who knew him - and all those who would have known him. Wonderful teacher ... wonderful man.

Mrs. Hendrix. She had a way of pulling the very best out of us, even when we were not having it. She was funny and she tricked us frequently and loved doing it. She was a good teacher and told stories of history that made you feel like you had a front row seat. She was a rare teacher.
