Never got around to thanking that teacher?

I had some <i>great</i> teachers that I will always remember (what they taught me and their physical appearance). However I can't remember any of my teachers' names, whether it was elementary, junior high, or high school, or even university.<p>I just don't have a good memory of names. This site makes me regret it :-(

Shouldn't it have a search feature? I'd like to check my old highschool/town.

Great idea, I recently (I'm in college now) went back and thanked several of my elementary school teachers who were really excellent. They don't get nearly enough thanks, but I know for damn sure I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

Arghh! I had a long thank you written but it got deleted because I didn't fill in one one the fields. Nice idea otherwise.

This is fantastic! I way prefer this positivity over the judgemental tone of websites like ratemyprofessors.com<p>Would be nice to break this down by region.

I love this idea/website.<p>I went back to my high-school to borrow a lab coat for a Halloween party and while I was there I ran into a few old teachers and had a chance to thank them and have a good conversation with them. While a lot of kids 'hate' their teachers I seemed to be the near opposite.<p>Also, I recommend doing this for other things too, for example, I recently had an operation on my hand and the nurses and other staff at the hospital were awesome. I'm going back for a follow-up appointment and I'm going to bring a thank-you card and a couple of flowers to give to the ward.

Most schools have websites with faculty emails listed... it's very easy to look them up. I like the idea for this site - but would love to see a bigger mechanism for actually getting the messages to the teachers.

Nice idea for a site. I thanked my high school Math teacher who was an amazing teacher and inspired me quite a bit. I just wish he could actually receive the thank you, I have no idea where he is now.

Anyone else interested in the fact that this was built on top of Tumblr? Its pretty awesome how simple this idea is over Tumblr...

I was told to do this in a psych class I took freshman year in college.<p>I emailed my second grade teacher, who was probably the person that got me into reading. She was extremely grateful, and a decade later still remembered everyone in the class.

Awesome idea and a great way to get positive energy out there - especially since teachers are facing a lot of pressure these days....thanks for putting this together

This is ridiculously awesome, enjoying all the positive vibes and people taking the time to step back and think about who helped them. Keep it up!

would be great to build out this (already awesome) concept a little more. any ideas for expanding it? adding on some partnerships?

Great idea and execution but why only 30 days?

these international posts are great! Lovely to see how everyone share the common bond of being inspired by great teachers

beautiful design! just curious, how do you set so that the vertical spacing matches the lines in the paper?

just sent this out to a PTA list serve for my school district. Would be cool to get more schools involved

love this! just posted a thank you. What a good opportunity to get back in touch with our teachers

im sure there are som great opportunities for collaborating to set up donations? any ideas?

just forwarded some thanks to my teachers. hoping to get schools involved!

the international responses are so cool! can't wait to share this

this is awesome! GOOD mag should feature...

cool project guys - keep it up

If my teachers would have had their way I'd be working night shifts at a liquor store now.
