Hey guys, this topic just flash in my mind suddenly without thinking first if I could still remember my grade school teacher. I will try to enumerate them honestly. If I leave a space it means I forgot. Just for fun guys, here they are; Grade 1. Ms Pilar Lopez 2. Ms Evelyn Salutan 3. Ms Esclamado replaced by Ms Manliguez after herdeath 4. Mr Mosqueda 5. Mr Bongabong 6. Oh I am sorry I think I am already old enough to remember them all. It is funny, how about you can you still enumerate them all? I guess those fresh and just newly graduates could still perfectly remember.. Could you share guys!?

I understand, but I hope you can still recognize them whenever you meet them personally. We shouldn't forget them because what I understand is we owed them our early education second to our parents...our early teachers were the unsung heroes of their time...thanks for responding...hope to read also your topic soon...

Oh my friend.. you are great.. The first thing I did before responding this discussion is, I gave you a friends request & then I started writing. Well, For everyone, school days will be the most memorable days especially the teachers who taught us some values. I still remember my Grade 1 classmates and the helps i got from them during that age. The teachers who are still in my heart and who can be never erased are, LKG - I dont know her name.. but her face is still inside my mind.. her smiling face.. i can never forget her. she is a soft lady in nature. Grade 2 - Again i dont know the name. She is an anglo indian & she always have special care on me. she knew to scold the childrens. but she had never scold me anytime. I dont know in which part of the earth she is living now.she must be atleast 65 years of age, If she is alive. Grade 3 - I am sorry friend.. i dont know the name again. those days, I studied in different schools as my parents changed the home. She is y classteacher and quit school in half as she got married.when she visited the school with her husband after some weeks, i still remember that exactly how it happened.It was during Interval time and we all are out of the class. as we are kids, nobody went to teacher and talked anything. every boys dont want to waste the little time they got and they are busy with their playing.but only I, kept on watched her. She was leaving school with her husband and luckily she too saw me before leaving the school. she noticed I am watching her but she also had a doubt whether i am watching her or somewhere. she watched me twice and left the school. Grade 4 - Shyamala Teacher(Thank God.. I remember rest of the names)She is not special to me. but I like her as she always teach good values to all students. Even she is strict,She was never hard with any students anytime. Grade 7 - Priya Teacher.. I love her.. but very late.. I was a fool that time that i never realized the special care she had on me. When my old moral science teacher left the school, she joined. when for the first time she entered the class, looking at me, (the first word she talked entering the class)"Where are you staying?" All the 59 students in class were surprised and jealous of me that Beautiful Priya teacher, who looks like an angel, always had special care on me. To the shock for all students, She left the school in 2 months. My God.. i felt very sad on that day. but about a month later, 2 senior boys of my school, came to me and told that Priya teacher living near his home and asked me to come to her name. Inside my mind, I felt very happy. but foolishly, i never went her home even 2 or 3 persons told me that she called her home. As i didnt had any responsibilities at that age, after the school bell rang, i immediately remember my best friend, living near my home, who will also wait for me to play. Priya teacher should really mistaken me those years for not meeting her. Later, I didnt faced any teachers who i can keep always in my heart. I am still trying to meet priya teacher atleast once and I must say that I love her very much. Destiny must answer, as i failed in all my trying.

yes.. mobhomeir.. I was really in love with her. Another fact is, My Grade 3 teacher and Priya teacher nearly looks same. When my grade 3 teacher was married and when i came to knew late, I was really angry. I even thought How she can marry without telling me. Good Teachers are always equal to mother!

I remember some of my teachers from elementary school. My first Danish teacher was called Peter, and I liked him, because he made the lessons interesting. He was very good at telling stories and he was very good at playing the guitar. My parents and many of the other parents didn't like him, and they thought that he was good at entertaining but not very good at teaching. After a couple of years he stopped being a teacher and starting making tv programmes instead. I sometimes watched him on tv, I enjoyed listing to him was he was playing the guitar. My next teacher was a woman called Marianne. I didn't like her that much, but my third Danish teacher was great. He was called Sven, he had a great personality, and I liked him very much. Almost everyone liked him and respected him, and I felt very lucky to have him as a teacher.

I counted all the names of your teacher you said, and there were only three. I had no idea the way and system of your elementary education unlike ours we have 6 years first ( elementary ) before going to secondary. That is why maybe you mentioned only three teachers. I understand that, at least we remember them. We owed them a lot in terms of early education. But I am sure you would never forget their faces whenever you see them....thanks for responding my friend...and hope to hear you again soon....

Yes, the system in my country is different, and we often keep the same teacher for more than one year. I had 3 different teachers in elementary school, but some students only have two different teachers and some students only have one teacher. (the same teacher sometimes stays with the class for several years)

This is great, I have to check how great my memory is, lol. I don't think I still remember their full name, because we used to call them with their last names. 1. Mrs. Ramos, nice teacher though, but she can be tough as well. 2. Can't remember, lol. 3. Mrs. San Juan, she's okay. 4. Mrs, Leyble, I can't remember if she's nice at all. 5. Mrs Antonio, my favourite teacher of them all, she is great and fair with her students. 6. I can't remember also because the teacher that we supposed to have only teach us for a month because of some accident, I think. And since then we have different teachers.

i'm sorry to say that i don't quite remember grade school teachers's name. i remember some of their faces indeed . When i look at this topic i feel a pity that why i cann't remember . We just lost the contact with these nice teachers and we don't gather together once or twice a year. Actually grade school teachers played a great role to us and helped us a lot but we didn't relized at that time. i feel guilty for my poor memory here.

I still remember my first teacher, i.e. the elementary teachers. She was so sweet and kind and I'd always like to be in her class. She taught me well and would also spank me whenever I did something wrong. I even remember her name, Revathy. I always wish that I could go back to that beautiful time, when the world was full of joy!

I still remember some of my elementary teachers, especially the really strict ones. I still remember the way they make me nervous during class discussions. But i do appreciate them now. I had one year experience teaching and now I realize how hard it is to be a teacher. It really takes a lot of hard work and dedication.

hello ,mobhomeir you started a very interesting topic and it makes me recall my elementary life. There was a cadet teacher who was going to teach us for a week first and then be determined to leave or stay by the principal. He was so charming and cute that everyone loved him. In his last class, someone spreaded the news that he wouldn't stay, which made everyone cry. We pled to our teachers to agree.Fortunately he was employed to teach grade 4 (I was grade 5 that time). And another P.E. teacher always told horrible traffic accidents to us in the classroom if it was raining outside. He acted vividly as if he witnessed the accident. At the end of the class he would always say:" it's really important to obey the traffic rules."

With our them we're not where we are right now...thanks for responding..hope to read your discussion soon...
