Yes..I remember only one of my 7th grade teachers names...Mr. Venera...who made us read about some of the Nazi atrocities, out loud, during class.
Mr Headman - we spent an entire quarter on Anne Frank’s Diary and what was happening outside of the book. I was failing his class (more interested in the girls sitting around me) and transferred out the next quarter - my homeroom teacher wanted to save my grades - I was all ‘A’s but for that class. I have to say it was the most memorable classroom experience for many years
