I'll have to say mr moss was one of my teachers I remember the most. He went out of his way to help me . He should have tore my tail up with a pattel but instead he'd take me outside and tell me to straiten up. Then tell me to make like he whooped me good. He'd smack the pole with the paddle and I'd limp in with no one knowing any better! RIP mr moss you were the best!
