The UK is a nation of teacher’s pets with teachers topping a list of the UK’s ten fondest school memories, according to new research.
A survey of 1,004 UK adults, carried out by One4all, the Post Office Gift Card, found over a third (34%) of Brits rate teachers as one of their favourite school day memories, with reminiscing about school friends (52%) and school trips (40%) completing the top three fondest recollections of school.
School dinners, play time in the school yard and singing in assembly were among the most common answers when the nation was asked to recall fond school day memories according to a new top ten list* released today.
A third of UK adults didn’t appreciate their school years at the time, and at 46.5%, the majority of the poll say they would go back to re-live their school years - with 43.6% saying they wouldn't.
1 in 5 (19%) of those polled said they now feel they have a lot to thank their teachers for - in fact, 22% of Brits say their teachers had a positive impact on their life, while 1 in 5 UK adults report that if they could, they would give thanks to their teachers.
