EVERYONE KNOWS THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TEACHERS. THE BORING ONES, THE MEAN ONES, THE ONES WHO TRY TOO HARD, THE ONES WHO STOPPED TRYING LONG AGO. THE ONES YOU'LL NEVER REMEMBER, AND THE ONES YOU WANT TO FORGET. MS. BIXBY IS NONE OF THESE. SHE'S THE SORT OF TEACHER WHO MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE SCHOOL IS SOMEHOW WORTHWHILE. WHO RECOGNIZES SOMETHING IN YOU THAT SOMETIMES YOU DON'T EVEN SEE IN YOURSELF. WHO YOU NEVER WANT TO DISAPPOINT. WHAT MS. BIXBY IS, IS ONE-OF-A-KIND.
