When it came time for him to go into fourth grade, the school decided it was best to put Jobs and Ferrentino into separate classes. The teacher for the advanced class was a spunky woman named Imogene Hill, known as "Teddy", and she became, Jobs said, "one of the saints of my life." After watching him for a couple of weeks, she figured that the best way to handle him was to bribe him. "After school one day, she gave me this workbook with math problems in it, and she said, 'I want you to take it home and do this.' And I thought, 'Are you nuts?' And then she pulled out one of these giant lollipops that seemed as big as the world. And she said, 'When you're done with it, if you get it mostly right, I will give you this and $5.' And I handed it back within two days." After a few months, he no longer required the bribes. "I just wanted to learn and to please her." She reciprocated by getting him a hobby kit for grinding a lens and making a camera. "I learned more from her than any other teacher, and if it hadn't been for her I'm sure I would have gone to jail." It reinforced, once again, the idea that he was special. "In my class, it was just me she cared about. She saw something in me." It was not merely intelligence that she saw. Years later she liked to show off a picture of that year's class on Hawaii Day. Jobs had shown up without the suggested Hawaiian shirt, but in the picture he is front and center wearing one. He had, literally, been able to talk the shirt off another kid's back.
等到他即将进入四年级的时候，校方认为最好将乔布斯和费伦蒂诺放到不同的班级里。教高级课程的是一名干劲十足的女教师伊莫金•希尔，人称“泰迪”，用乔布斯的话说，她成为了“我生命中的圣人之一”。在观察了乔布斯几个星期后，她意识到对付他最好的方法就是收买他。“有一天放学后，她给了我一本练习簿，上面都是数学题，她说要我带回家把题目解出来。我心想：‘你是不是疯了？’这时她拿出一只超大的棒棒糖，在我看来地球也不过这么大吧。她说，你把题目做完之后，如果大多数都做对了，我就把这个给你，再送你5美元。我用了不到两天就做完交给她了。”几个月后，他不想再要奖励了。“我只想学习和让她高兴。” 她会帮他弄到一些小工具，让他可以做些打磨镜头、制作相机之类的事情。“我从她身上学到的东西比从其他任何老师那儿学到的都要多，如果没有她的话，我一定会坐牢的。”这再一次印证了乔布斯是个特殊的孩子。“在我们班，她只关心我一个人，她在我身上看到了一些东西。” 她看到的不仅是乔布斯的智慧。多年后，她很喜欢展示当年的班级在“夏威夷日”拍的一张照片。那天乔布斯出现的时候没有按要求穿夏威夷衫，但在照片中，他穿着一件夏威夷衫坐在前排中央。原来，他成功说服另一个孩子把自己的衣服脱下来给了他。
