TEACHER VOTED MOST POPULAR
Coventry teacher, Doreen Michaels (44) has been voted the most popular teacher in England by her pupils.
Doreen has been teaching fifteen year old boys English and History at Langley High School for the past ten
years.
"I'm delighted with this award," she said yesterday. "It just goes to prove that my
teaching methods are effective. I try to engage with my boys and show them that
education can be interesting and entertaining as well as informative."
"She's the tops," said pupil Billy Wilson. "We always look forward to our lessons
with Mrs Michaels because she makes the lessons so interesting. Other teachers
can be boring but when Mrs Michaels is teaching every eye is fixed on her.
Doreen won the award in competition with teachers in every secondary school in
England. Pupils not only had to vote but give their reasons for finding a teacher
popular.
"We just said that she was friendly and very aware of the essential needs of fifteen
year old boys," added Billy. "She knows what we like, and that's why we like her."
Mrs Michaels is devoted to 60s fashion and likes to wear mini skirts.
