tv teachers

We've all had that one teacher who really drove us to do well in school, to reach for our dreams and to succeed. Sometimes in the life of a TV fanatic, that teacher may be a character on your favorite series.

To salute those inspiring educators -- both real and fake -- we asked real-life teachers to tell us what TV teachers they hold close to their hearts.

From Mr. Kotter on 'Welcome Back, Kotter' to Mr. Feeny on 'Boy Meets World,' read on to find out which characters have left a lasting mark on the molders of today's youth.

To some, it's the most wonderful time of the year. For our younger brethren, it's the most dreaded time period ever. Yes, it's time for kids to go back to school.

But, what if your school was made up of your favorite teachers from television? It'd be more fun, right? It's a fantasy we've all had here at TV Squad.

The school would be made up of TV legends. Buffy Summers would help us select classes/slay vampires and Mr. Feeny would give us sage advice, both in the classroom and over the shared fence of our homes. Naturally, the physical location of TV Squad High School would be Torrance High School, the school used for Sunnydale and West Beverly High School.

Recently we unearthed a page from the long-forgotten TV Squad High School yearbook of our dreams. It's just page one of the staff section, but man, don't you wish you went to this school?
