Awesome teachers
Teachers have been getting a right kicking recently and it's not fair. So, let's hear it for the teachers who've inspired you, made you laugh, or helped you to make massive explosions in the chemistry lab. (Thanks to Godwin's Lawyer for the suggestion)

Lucky old you!
For 'O' Level English, we were taught Romeo And Juliet in two groups by two teachers.
My group received a straightforward, highly literary reading - similes, metaphors, various types of verse, all the dull but worthy facts.
The other lot got all the rude stuff: for example, how an account of the 'strokes' and 'thrusts' of a swordfight could just as easily be about sex, if described by a swaggering young man.
It was as if there were TWO plays, and I got the boring one. I love the old Bard but I can't help thinking that I'd have loved him sooner and more strongly if I'd been in the other group.
