Your favourite (or a particularly memorable) teacher? Why?

There was one teacher in Junior School (ages 7-10) who used to scare the crap out of me. Looking back I realize he was the best teacher I ever had.

Mr. Axe
Garland High School, World History

Talk about an intelligent man. Very funny, witty, and had a great view of the world. He also had no tolerance for stupidity and made that clear on a daily basis. It's been over sixteen years since the last time I sat in his classroom, but I remember him clearly.

A teacher I had in high school. He was so important to me. A huge support. After I graduated we would have lunch once in a while and no for all the sickos there was nothing going on! He was a father figure and was always there for me. He died in 2005, but I will always remember all the great advice he gave me:)

My college algebra teacher two semesters ago. He. Was. Awesome. He was the best teacher I've ever had. His methods were solid, we was fair to his students, and truly wanted you to learn. He was there to teach and he taught his *** off. I wish I had him for my math class this semester... :/

My grade 6 teacher.
he was awesome, he was kinda old but always in a good mood and had something funny to say. He used to sing, a lot, and make jokes and riddles. Mr Simmo :)

most memorable...year 10 maths teacher.. *shudders*
ill recant one most memorable class in which he completly freaked me out... i was most contently playing games on my calculator, when he walks over... "woof" he says.. i look at him with a confused expression. "woof?" i query, "woof"he once again states... my expression hardens slightly. "woof" i say with more feeling behind it. once more, he most vaguely says "woof" before walking away... i look to my frend, and he looks to me. both of us having no idea wtf just happened. So i proceed to contently play games on my calculator.. ^^

I HAD A MR.LYDON FOR ENGLISH AND HE COULD QUITE EASILY BECOME FLUSTERED SO ONE DAY SOME OF THE BOYS HAD SMALL PLASTIC CARS AND EVERY TIME HE WOULD TURN HIS BACK THEY WOULD ROLL A CAR AT HIS FEET AND SOME ONE WOULD GO BEEP BEEP AS IT HIT HIM..WELL THIS DAY AFTER ENOUGH PROVOCATION HE WENT MAD TRYING TO CRUSH THE CARS BY STOPPING ON THEM...MY FINAL MEMORY WAS HIM SLIDING DOWN THE WALL HAVING A HEART ATTACK AS THE ENTIRE CLASS GAVE HIM A SLOW CLAP.....HE DID RECOVER BUT DID NOT TEACH AGAIN.

My Philosophy professor. He is a big inspiration to everyone--he's real, genuine, and he understands. he's not just a teacher, he's a friend.

My favorite teacher, Miss Masters, taught me Latin for three years. She was a brilliant, well read, very knowlegeable person who had the most delightful sense of humor. She could tell all kinds of anecdotes and stories about the ancient Romans in a way that sounded like the latest gossip, making them seem like real, fascinating people you would want to know.

I liked most of my math teachers. One who is particularly memorable was the one I had in Jr Hi.

She was a model teacher, in that she was very organized and practical. I guess I fell in love with math because of her. She also had a sense of humor and she was fair.

As I said, she was practical, rather curt also and a bit mannish somehow. She did have a rep of being strict so I was naturally afraid when I realized I took my home practice notebook instead of my homework notebook.

I told her that, in a low scared voice and what do you know... She barked what could be taken as a laugh and lightly poked my head, saying, "Oh, you silly girl."

Taught me honesty too, she did.

Miss Efrimedas my science teacher for believing in me when no one else did including myself.

i had this one teacher in grade 6 and god he used to annoy me he would sit at his desk and pick his nose and then no jokes everytime he would get up and come over to you to see how you were doing and pick up your pen with the finger he just picked his nose with it was just awful...

My 7th grade english teacher......Miss Crook.......(at least I think it was english...........who knows......anyway she, it was rumored to have turned down a chance as a Playboy Playmate and centerfold.......... shame... I would have bought 50 copies... smiles....
I don't really remember if she was a great or even good teacher but man, It was a great hour everyday.........She left 2 years later to become a lawyer.
