(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I had some fabulous teachers and not so who just needed the pay check. Over all I miss my English teacher. Now I'm in college as a senior finishing up my major in teaching special education. She gave me hope that someday I'll make a good teacher, well at 40 I'm making something out of my life I have done other careers just didn't love my job. I Thank her for my accomplishment's Forever, Graduate of 1986
