 Nominate Your Favorite Teacher of 2010

Whether they made school fun or simply helped you pass calculus, let it be known.

Great teachers are as unique as the children they teach. Some are stern, while others are playful. Some have decades of wisdom, while others have fresh enthusiasm for a career they are just embarking on. Each has their own way of motivating students to reach further, study harder, and most importantly, see new possibilities within themselves.
