Defamer is committed to bringing together Hollywood's hackiest directors and the people that once educated them. Yesterday, we received this plea and promised to do everything in our power to reconnect teacher and student.

Hi, I was Brett Ratner's history teacher at Beach High. Can you please have him e-mail me ? Thanks.

We didn't ask the teacher for any anecdotes about the director's educational history, but we assume that doodling flipbooks of cars exploding in the margins of his notes was a big part of Ratner's high school experience. If anyone has Ratner's e-mail address, we'll happily forward it along and facilitate the reunion.
