Thank you, Mrs. Foster! You Made A Difference!



Lindsay Tarpley is a two-time Olympic Gold Medal winner for the US Women's National Soccer team. Lindsay thanks her teacher, Mrs. Foster. The "You Made A Difference" campaign is an effort to let teachers know how they have made a difference in former students' lives by allowing those former students to thank their teachers by writing a note or uploading a public video to Facebook or YouTube. The campaign was launched by HuffPost Education blogger Scott Janssen, who in June wrote a post arguing that Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake's Bad Teacher movie wrongly blames the plight and failure of American schools on poor performing teachers.
