National Teacher Day

Today is National Teacher Day. In the spirit of that, a post about it.

NEA's "Most Memorable Teachers" list (http://www.nea.org/teacherday) contains candid comments that provide a snapshot of the teachers who made an impact on more than 100 celebrities and notable public figures. Here is a glimpse of what some had to say about their most memorable teachers:

 "Ms. Herrod inspired me, she challenged me,
 she communicated with me and she taught me. 
 The essential ingredients for a memorable teacher."
    -- Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.)
