Many of us remember certain teachers from grade school or high school who were not only superb teachers where the material was concerned, but their passion for it, and their work with their students in other aspects of life.
I remember some of my university and grad. instructors who were good in class, and obviously knew their stuff. But the teacher I look up to the most was a high school teacher. In fact I look up to quite a few of them to this day.
As someone who has been involved in education for 22 years, now, from a Catholic PreK-8, to a private PreK-12 (focusing on 6-12) to a university and now at a graduate level institution, I know I have had the most students come back and compliment me from the very first job, and now at this one. That's quite the spread, and it's rewarding beyond all measure.

I think HS teachers affect kids a lot more in a positive way than college. I have seen some great HS teachers that have the ability to turn a troubled young person's life around. These teachers are worth a lot more than they are getting paid. College professors don't see as many troubled youth as HS and don't get the chance to help these young people like a HS teacher.
