Mrs Grace Crawford, not of Prince George as I relocated to PG from NC shortly after college days. I thought Mrs Crawford was one of the hardest teachers I could ever have. Looking back, she taught us how to study, how to pull out important facts, but most importantly she taught us how to think (and sometimes how to act towards others) - to put together several ideas to form an idea that was more awesome than anything else we’d seen or heard. To critically think!!
