“My favorite teacher was Mr. Rossel, I believe that was his name. He was from Germany and he taught math. He was inspiring and always brought humor to the math even though it was my worst and least favorite class.”

“My favorite teacher was Ms. Mckee. She was my ninth grade English teacher and taught me to love writing. I feel like she really cared about me. I felt like she did a good job individualizing things. You felt like she really gave you the attention. We created a whole portfolio and we got to write about what we wanted to write about.”

“My favorite teacher was Steve Irwin. [He] was my mentor as I was going to school to become a teacher. It was my last year of college and I was a tutor the first year I worked with him. The year after college I worked with him as a student teacher. He really helped me understand teaching isn’t really about teaching the subject but rather teaching the students.”

“My 7th grade teacher was Mr. Damey. He taught about life, not just classroom stuff. Damey was the kind of teacher that cared more about the kids than most teachers and wanted to teach the kids more than just about the material that needed to be learned.”
