Who influenced you at school?

That's a very positive attitude annodomini , I wanted to tell you the number 1 thing that people are scared are from is Public Speaking ,and then comes snake , spider and the list goes on , I am happy for you as you have overcome the wold's greatest fear !! Cheers !! Keep it up !!

Thanks a really nice story there by rubylady , it's a very simple and sweet one ,I was influenced by my class 2 teacher she taught us many important lessons and she cared about us a lot and she used to have this Labrador that used to come behind her everywhere she went and then one day the dog died and all of us cried and we also learnt that we will lose all our dear ones so cherish what you have in this moment !!

I believe that when I was at school* the greatest influence was The Goon Show... It was iconoclastic in a way that our masters really didn't cotton on to, although some were recently demobbed after WWII. There was a definite Generation Gap, although I don't recall hearing the phrase.

*up until 1953.

Miss Brodie, French Mistress. She would play Edith Piaff in the background as we went on a virtual shopping trip to Paris. Mr. Carmichael, Music, Miss Anderson, English and Miss MacDonald, hockey mistress. I eventually played for our school and went on to play in a Ladies Club when I left school. Wish I had the energy to play a game now.

That's a lovely , Really good to know , There are so many wonderful teachers out there and people really don't appreciate any one of the teachers that is really bad !!

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY !! To all the teachers who have helped me to reached where i am right there are the most important element in my life !!

'Teacher is a one who knows the way, shows the way and goes the way '

One of the famous quotes !!

Shouldn't that be 'goes away'?

Just realised that somehow a combination of the people who have taught me, have left me with the conviction that to learn more is the most important thing...........I am still learning!
