“I have the best kids at the school for certain, the best kids in the county, and maybe the best kids in the world,” said the 74-year-old science and anatomy teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why is this academic force of nature wrapping things up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I want to play!” she said with a big smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other hobbies, Allison plans on honing her drawing skills and reading lots of her beloved Stephen King books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allison said she’ll miss creating engaging lesson plans for her students. But she will absolutely NOT miss Xerox-ing and stapling papers. (She’s not too crazy about kids having phones in the classroom, either.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They don’t make people like her anymore,” said Bartow High School Principal Dr. Emilean Fara, who is also retiring this year. “She is very unique.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the students who love her, they say Ms. Allison’s colorful teaching style made things easier to retain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
