Go back in time and try to recall the name of your first ever teacher? Mine was a very harsh woman teachercalled Madee-i will never foget her-the very first day I got to school, she gave a very difficul sum-and when I failed, i was made to frog leap around the class as other children laughed at me. The next day i didnt go to school-i simply decided that i should instead look after goats-i did that for one year until my brother took me to another district 500km from home-there I met a very nice teacher called Mrs. Asio-she made want to go school everyday-i became he best pupil, and a class Monitor! Do you stil remember your first teacher?

Hi,there! Sure I do.I could remember my first teacher pretty well.She is a nice woman though not tall.She was about 28 years old.She liked smiling very much.Though she was very strict with all of us,she always tried to make us understand the mistakes we made and explain why and how we should correct them:) She left us in the third year and we all missed her pretty much.Luckily we had another nice teacher as our headteacher as well.I just wanna thank all of my teachers.I wish them all the best in the coming 2008! Best regards! Thanks for your discussion and it made me recall sth very precious in the past years.Have a nice day^_^

Hello dear academic friend. I am so sorry that your first teacher was not nice to you that made you unwilling to go to the same school again. But it is very relieving that your brother took you to another school for education, which was so nice and kind of him. Well, my first teacher in the primary school was a young man and as I was only six, I was afraid of teachers. I was very timid during my primary school years, but I have to say that most of my teachers, including the first teacher, were kind to me till when I finished my senior high school education. Thanks for your discussion that reminds me of the past years as a pupil and student.

Great to hear, I would have loved to know his name Sir william! Wonder if you still ocasionally bump onto your first teacher? I still meet my harsh teacher-she is quite old now though, but her bad character appears to have gone-occasionally I give her some litle money and each time I do, i wonder if she remembers how she nearly ruined my educational prospects!

I remember my very first teacher. Her name was Mrs. Gus and she taught preschool. She was a very nice sweet old lady. I'm guessing she was in her 60's and to a 4 year old that's considered OLD. LOL I remember my 2nd teacher better than I do my first teacher. Her name was Ms. Garvy and she taught kindergarten. She was a young teacher (in her late 20's or early 30's) with shoulder length red hair. Just like Mrs. Gus she was a sweet lady, as well as understanding. I've had several dreams where I go back to her classroom to visit her. She's the only teacher that I've seen in my dreams. LOL I guess she made more of an impact on me than any of my teachers and this is why I dream about her.

My first teacher was very nice woman and I remember although I was some 6 or 7 years old she had very nice hands and she was singing to us when we were too loud. I saw her about 2 years ago on the reunion of our elementary school and she is still great.

Yes I do - her name is Mrs Crombie and I still see her sometimes when she's out shopping although obviously as I'm now 46 she's pretty old and doesn't get out much anymore. Most kids hated her because she was real strict but I liked her. I have to confess I was pretty much the teachers pet! I never liked school much though so I love the idea of going to look after goats instead lol!

I will never forget my teacher Mrs Large, she was fantastic. I never really learnt anything, but we all had such a good time in her class, this sort of education I liked the best. I always remember she loved salad cream on her chips and when I eat this sometimes I always think of her..lol

I remember my first grade teacher,Mrs.Wells.She was very nice.I was shy and she helped a little to get me talking.I never wanted to say a word.Then the teacher had us draw a picture.She praised my picture a lot and it felt so good that I talked.

Yes I do her name was miss Madison she did not like me at all she would not let me go to the bathroom till it was brake time and would always send me home for lunch because she said that my lunches was not paid for what was bad about that was that my mom was the only one that was making money and we got free lunch at school. one day i asked to go to the bathroom and she said no!!!!! I told her that i could not wait and she said i had to I told her that if she would not let me go i was going to pee in my chair she told me that if i did she was going to lock me in the office and she did. my mom had a few things to tell her,after that she was very nice to me i did not like her at all it made it bad because that was the first grade after that i did not say a lot in school i would stay to myself
