Toasting TV's Top Teachers

NEA Today staff was inspired to conduct a landmark--and admittedly unscientific--online election naming TV’s top teacher of all time. There were no categories. The poll watchers did not distinguish between characters acting serious or acting the clown. Did the wise-cracking Gabe Kotter (Welcome Back, Kotter) take top honors? Or compassionate Marla Hendricks (Boston Public)? Was Edna Garrett (Facts of Life) a teacher, and should Principal Richard Belding (Saved by the Bell) be included? It’s your call.
