Nice idea for a site. I thanked my high school Math teacher who was an amazing teacher and inspired me quite a bit. I just wish he could actually receive the thank you, I have no idea where he is now.

Great idea and execution but why only 30 days?

Most schools have websites with faculty emails listed... it's very easy to look them up. I like the idea for this site - but would love to see a bigger mechanism for actually getting the messages to the teachers.

This is fantastic! I way prefer this positivity over the judgemental tone of websites like ratemyprofessors.com

Would be nice to break this down by region.

Shouldn't it have a search feature? I'd like to check my old highschool/town.

Click "What's This All About" on the top. Search is in the lower left.

We could probably make this featured main page and more explicit, Thanks for pointing this out.

I had some great teachers that I will always remember (what they taught me and their physical appearance). However I can't remember any of my teachers' names, whether it was elementary, junior high, or high school, or even university.

I just don't have a good memory of names. This site makes me regret it :-(

Thanks for the kind words, we have been pulling this together over the last few weeks but breakdown by region will be very cool. It has been interesting to see where students are coming from: Kuwait, New Zealand, Brazil, etc.
