Who's Your Favorite Teacher?

Today, May 7, is National Teacher Day, according to the National Education Association.

Teachers have long been among the most unsung heroes of our time, affecting and shaping the brains of countless individuals without truly getting acknowledged for their remarkable influence.

By the way, teachers, bring your teacher ID to any Chipotle and the meal's on them. The details are on the restaurant's Facebook page.

Today, in honor of this day, we ask you to share your stories about your favorite Smithfield teacher. Or, we ask that you shine the light on a remarkable local teacher. Did an educator change your life? Say something to you, or teach you something that would forever influence you? Who do you think is the best teacher in town, and why? Tell us about this teacher below, as we at Patch would like to spotlight these teachers in the future.
