Henry Adams said, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”From the time children begin school, they will have a number of teachers come and go. And whether it is positive or negative, teachers can leave a lasting impression on their students. But, hopefully, somewhere along the way, a student can find one teacher they will never forget.School starts next week in Falcon School District 49, so it is the perfect time to ask people this month’s Streetwise question: “Who was your favorite teacher and why?”
| Joan Sell Colorado SpringsMr. Clayton. He was my sixth grade teacher. I liked him because he treated boys and girls equally, which, in the 1950s, didn’t happen a lot. |  |
 | Jenny Griffeth Colorado SpringsMrs. Freeman. She taught second grade. She was my teacher when I first moved to Colorado. I liked her because she was very comforting, nurturing and she helped me fit in. |
| Sarah Perkins Colorado SpringsMrs. Wenninger. She taught second grade in District 20. I’m not sure, maybe she still does. Or maybe she retired. But I liked her so much as a teacher that during my senior year of high school I went back and tutored for her class. I just loved her. She was a sweet, sweet lady. |  |
 | Christine Lassiter Colorado SpringsMr. Thomas. He taught English at Watson Junior High from 1980 to 1983. I liked him because he enjoyed teaching and brought literature to life. He made learning enjoyable, and I wanted to stay in his class more than any other class. He was the only reason I wanted to go to school. |
