(STUDY FINDS) – Teachers make such an impact on us that six in 10 parents claim they can still name every teacher from their childhood (62%), according to a new survey. The study of 2,000 American parents of children under 18 examined respondents’ early childhood education memories and reveals that three in four parents credit their former teachers for positively influencing their lives (76%).
What were the greatest life lessons that parents credit their teachers with? Among the top responses are showing them how to be a better person (58%), impacting the hobbies they picked up (52%), and simply being a role model (51%).
What parents remember the most about their early childhood education experience is learning new subjects (56%), making new friends (55%), and learning how to be creative (53%). Almost half of parents also consider having their teachers invest time in them (48%) and playing with their favorite toy or game (47%) as some of their best school memories. That may be why 73 percent say they learned more life and social skills during their early school years versus their later ones.
