  Speaker 5: the time. So we used to have like our morning pee.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: We used to go on to the oval and do
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: that mini combat course, but my teacher used to take
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: us to the undercovered area and we'd have to do aerobics,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: and I can always remember because he wore pink like
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: we tight pants with the match in top and a
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: bum bag and all the much sort of all the
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: moms would sort of hang around, and I didn't understand
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: why they were hanging around and watching me and my
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: teacher or do an eerobic workout. So that night I
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: went home and I told my dad that, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: all the moms fancy my teacher. So we had a
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: presentation the week after in aerobics, and my dad came
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: down and watched, and on the way home, I said
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: to my my dad, Sea, I told you all the
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: moms like this teacher. And my dad was laughing and
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I didn't understand, and he said something about don't have
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: to worry about that because he sat in on a
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: team of a team, and I remember replying, going, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: don't think he's on a team, And then they were

  Speaker 1: What's the bit said pe teacher was up for aerobics
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Hostyle on Channel ten.

  Speaker 1: You understand and why Dad was not concerned in anything
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: at all?
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Absolutely not.

• 4:08
  Speaker 1: be worried about.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Thanks, nowhere is going by bye.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We always had those teachers that made a very positive impression, idness,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and then there were others who maybe weren't so much.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: By ignoring them, you're selling out these children's futures.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Oh come on, and no, we both know these children
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: have no future. Prove me wrong, Dad, brove me wrong.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'm six year years old now, but I'm
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: actually from I suppose we know there's a barbe now,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I'd have to call it Zilroodisa. And my primary school
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: teacher in what we used to call Standard four and
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Standard five, so those are the two classes before we
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: went off to high school. We had a very special teacher,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Missus Mason, and every second year she would actually drop
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: down and start teaching stand at four and then move
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: up with that class to stand at five. So she
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: taught you for two years in preparation for high school.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: And obviously it was only alternating people who got the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: privilege to have her, and I was very fortunate to
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: be in that class that had that privilege. And wow,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: there was not a person in the school that didn't
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: love Missus Mason. But she really, really, really was I
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: would say, the most influential teacher of my life.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Missus Mason was the kind of person who would go
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: out of her way to pick people who she knew
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: had it in them and when they're invest in them,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you were one of them.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Well no, well definitely, So, as I said, I was
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: very fortunate travel for two years and she would literally
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: drop down.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: You just don't forget it, you know. That's what I
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: was saying about with my grade two teacher. That's going
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: back a while, Michael. I just and I remember miss
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: absolute a major input there.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Found a lovely photograph. I've actually found a photograph of
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: my Standard five with her in it. And I used
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: that picture now to actually locate my entire Standard five class,
• 6:39
