Hi everyone,
Yesterday was World Teachers Day which is an occasion to celebrate teachers across the world. I found a great article which had a great selection of quotes to celebrate teachers and their achievement's.
Does anyone have any fond memories of teachers that made an impact when at school? Or do we have any teachers on the forums? Let me know below.

I was waiting for someone else to reply first, but I can't wait! I remember my first English teacher. We called her the Iron Lady (no relation, we were kids in Finland) as she was so strict.... and she was always berating me for not doing my homework and not doing anything in class. Towards the end of the final semester I suddenly got super interested in English and I got all my homework correct and full marks on my exams, and at the end of it my teacher was so proud she cried. ❤️ It's my favourite school-related memory.
Any others?

If honest I don't remember any of my teachers with any respect at all. I went to a school in an area of Coventry which only attracted those teachers who couldn't get a job in any of the more 'upmarket' schools
I quite liked the art teacher as she gave me better marks than anyone else and commended my vivid imagination. She felt I would have a good career in the art world. She must have been dumbfounded when I went into nursing....
PS My sister was a teacher and eventually headmistress of a school in a deprived area of Coventry. She turned that school round to become one of the highest rated in the Midlands....Proud of her...

Ouch! I remember one teacher of mine threw a wet chalk board eraser at someone who was speaking when not supposed to.
