Do you remember your favourite school teachers? And if you do, what made them so special? 

In this episode of This Glorious Mess from the archives, Holly Wainwright and Andrew Dado talk to finalist of Australia’s best teacher award, Rebecca West. We know teachers have it tough sometimes so Holly and Andrew ask as parents, what can we do to help? 

Plus, this week's parenting mentors question, what do you do when your child's a perfectionist?
