Presenter Peter Curran teases out some great stories from a group of top teachers about the pupils who've made the strongest impression on them, and from whom they've learnt the most.
The free-flowing and personal conversation powerfully reminds us of the impact individual pupils can have on their teachers.
We hear about the girl with autism who played a unexpected part in a school drama and inspired a change in teaching philosophy; the pupils who inspired a teacher to employ straight-talking rather than vague assurances to avoid hurt feelings.
On the other side of inspiration is frustration and we hear examples of pupils who tested the boundaries, like the boy who thought releasing a clutch of live frogs into an English lesson would enhance the learning experience.
Teachers Susanna D' Oyly, Robert Barber MBE, Jonathan Heeley and Claire Willis provide the touching and amusing testimony.

Presenter Peter Curran elicits more great stories from a group of top teachers about the pupils who've had the biggest impact on them, and from whom they've learnt the most.
We hear about the inspiring ambition of pupils from deprived backgrounds, the frustration and pleasure that resulted in trying to convert 'too-cool-for-school' inner-city London pupils to the joys of learning. The feelings of responsibility that rest with the teacher when the home environment is filled with stress and suspected aggression from a parent, and the transforming effect that such a child can have on a teacher. There's the tale of how some unmotivated pupils were transformed by working alongside older pupils on the school farm, and became an inspiration for fellow pupils and other teachers, and a look at how inspiration can result from taking risks to get results from 'difficult' pupils.
The panel of teachers are: Simon Horrocks, Claire Willis, Christopher Jenner Cole and Howard Wood.

Peter Curran chairs a group of teachers who recount tales of inspirational and frustrating bosses and colleagues that have made a powerful impression.
The free-flowing and personal conversation reveals the incredible impact their colleagues have had on them.
We hear of teachers who have overcome a poor appraisal to refocus and then triumph in the classroom. The use of humour is explored, and the flip side of inspiration - those colleagues who have frustrated the desire for job satisfaction in others.
The panel of teachers providing the anecdotes are: Christopher Jenner Cole, Jonathan Heeley, Claire Willis and Robert Barber MBE.
