Who was your best (or worst) elementary school teacher?
Submitted by Minnow.
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Kenneth Salem. He was the coolest, smartest, strongest, most curious guy. He passed away a few years after I had him as a teacher. A very sad time. To this day, I still want to be an astronaut because of him. I miss you, Mr. Salem!
