77% of Us Had a Favorite Teacher

When you were growing up, or even in college, did you have a favorite teacher or professor?

According to a new survey, 77% of us DID have a favorite teacher, with 43% of those people saying an English teacher was their favorite.

Behind English teachers were Math teachers . . . Science teachers . . . History teachers . . . then Music teachers.

Here are a few other stats the survey found:

  1. 83% of people said at least one of their teachers made a meaningful impact on their life . . . and 50% of us went to a teacher for life advice.
  2. 49% of people said they got some of their values and morals from their teachers.
  3. 43% of us believe our teachers had a big impact on our chosen career path.

Who was your favorite teacher when you were in school? Tell us on Facebook.

Don’t forget to be part of this weekend’s Stuff the Bus, and help teachers in our community better help our kids.
