Teachers Who Made a Difference
Many Recall Teachers Who Made Difference
Thank you Mrs. Tanizawa (3rd Grade), Ms. Yoon (4th and 5th), Mrs. Kemp (7th Grade Computers Teacher - to whom I directly owe the most), Mr. Baron (9th Grade Pre-Law, 10th Grade AP US History, and Mock Trial), Mr. Kleevos (10th Grade English), Mr. Douglas (12th Grade Shakespeare-disguised-as-an-AP-English-class) and my AP Biology teacher - who's face I can see in my mind's eye, but who's name refuses to reveal itself.
And thank you to the two most present teachers in my life - my parents, from whom I continue to learn to this day.

I spent some time online looking for a few teachers I particularly wanted to thank, a year or two ago, and came up empty. But Mary Adams (3rd/4th grade) and Leslie Bailey (high school English/Journalism), thanks for everything.

...and contrariwise, no thanks at all to Mr. Yancey (high school US/World History and Government), who thought the Bible (specifically Genesis, Daniel, and Revelations) was a perfectly reasonable text source for 90% of his courses. Damn "faith-based" education in general, but especially science and history. Grrr.
