<p>Months, years, after school ends?</p>
<p>I don't.</p>
<p>I don't think I will..</p>
<p>I've talked to teachers who've never taught me before.</p>
<p>But that was before I moved across the country.</p>
<p>I've emailed my old teachers...</p>
<p>I love teachers. They rock.</p>
<p>meh, I did e-mail a couple of old teachers (they were really just questions or suggestions) but they only addressed the questions/suggestions and nothing else.</p>
<p>I'm too scared to e-mail old teachers now - since sooner or later I'd have to disclose my libertarian attitudes towards education. Some of my 8th grade teachers really cared about me - but urged me to have fun instead of studying more. None of them displayed much enthusiasm in helping me find resources - except for my 3rd grade teacher, who recognized my interest in astronomy. Even then he knew nothing of gifted education (considering that I was far ahead of everyone else in my 3rd grade class).</p>
<p>I don't think that self-studying APs in a full IB school helped either. :p</p>
<p>Some of them do keep in contact with other classmates though.</p>
<p>all my teachers from elimentary school are in their own countries now, so..no.</p>
<p>But I think I'm going to keep in touch with my high school teachers, but noton a regular basis. Just an email or a phone call every now and then.</p>
<p>Anyhow, Eric Cornell and Steven Chu were very grateful towards their high school teachers. From some studies of scientists, a lot of them were motivated by their own teachers.</p>
<p>I suppose that most of those scientists were neurotypicals though. Non-neurotypicals probably found other ways to motivate themselves towards science</p>
<p>even if we want to keep in touch, it's pretty difficult with both our, and their, schedules. There's no time to actually talk or anything, unless you bump into them on the street, and even then it's just a "hey! what college did you go to?" sort of thing...</p>
<p>I keep in touch with my old 5th grade teacher. 2nd favourite teacher ever! And I plan on keeping in touch with my Spanish teacher (well...not my spanish teacher anymore...) after I finish HS.</p>
<p>i wish i understood the concept of email when i was in the 1st and second grade :( I would have liked to keep in touch with those two teachers...</p>
<p>Yes, I talk to 2 of them... every couple of months. When I come back home after break, I talk to the students there about the college admissions process and about college life. Every so often, I shoot them emails.</p>
<p>During college breaks, it's common to see old students visiting old teachers/ saying hello to younger friends. I know that my friends and I are all going to come back to visit!</p>
