Your favorite teacher

[teqrevisited]

I had so many great teachers that it's hard to choose. I'll narrow it down to 2 from primary and 2 from secondary.

Spoiler: Primary

Mr Reynolds. He was a loads of fun. He always had jokes to tell, a smile on his face and horrendously bad luck. He got hit by a car on two separate occasions. One broken leg and I think something else on the other one like a fractured collar bone. He still came in.

Ms Foreman. She was something of a rarity. I used to annoy her a bit because I didn't really pay much attention to the little lectures we used to get and yet I still aced every progressive english test that we had. I did worse than I expected in my year 6 English SAT exam - I got a 4 - and she actually appealed to the governors and got me into the higher tier in secondary. She even took me bowling with her daughter.

Spoiler: Secondary

Mr Patterson. Imagine, if you will, a cross between Stephen Fry and Jeremy Clarkson. He was one of the best english teachers I've ever had and he had a great personality. He'd swear all day long and he never set any homework because he thought it was a waste of time. It wasn't to last, though. We came back from the summer holidays to find out that he'd died of a brain tumour.

Finally, Mr Allen. What can I really say that will do him justice. A 50yr old PE teacher with the stamina & power of a 20yr old. He took the piss out of everyone, everything and anything. The man was just a legend. There are even tribute videos for when he left the school.

My math teacher in Secondary 4 (Grade 10 I think...?) Guy was absolutely fun to be around, constantly goofed off in class (after teaching us, that is) and I caught him flicking erasers around with a ruler many times too.

Also, after I showed him the Annoying Song (youtube it!) he proceeded to play it over the speakers at random times during all his lessons.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

My Year 10 & 11 Geography teacher, because she's always kind, helped me with my GCSE work during breaks and after-school, and I can talk to her about stuff. Also, she's hands down the hottest teacher in my school.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Best teacher?

Senor Chang!

So your favourite teacher is another dude, huh?

But yeah, Chang is pretty awesome.

Spoiler: Always willing to help deal with the school...

Spoiler: Joining in games of D&D

Spoiler: And getting rid of shoddy workmanship are just a few examples of why Chang is the greatest

And remember, he can't be killed!

OT: There were a few hot teachers that I got along with as well, but my two favourites weren't any of them. My first favourite was my Physics teacher. Really geeky, and funny guy as well. Basically he liked everything I and most of the class did. Second was my Higher/Adv Higher Computing teacher. He was funny as well, as was pretty damn knowledgeable about computers. Also since there was only three of us in the class, he let us listen to music and all that while we worked.

Without doubt my Standard Grade Physics/Chemistry teacher, who taught both subjects. The Biology lab was this sterile environment but the Physics/Chemistry labs had melted/pock-marked desks, scorch marks on the Table of Elements.. the lot.

He would wander around the class with a hammer, smashing test tubes when we'd made compounds that solidified; collected a jar of Hydrogen and lit it at the back of the class so the flames licked his desk at the front; and showed us what happened when various alkali metals were dropped in water.

He had the proper look of a mad scientist about him. Put his pencil behind his ear one day, forgot it was there, leaned forward and then grilled the class on who was throwing things when it fell off.

Good times. :')

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Had a great german teacher, Herr Gann! He used to love classic rock, and was the guitarist in the school teacher band... (Not that there always was one, but there were enough teachers who could play to fill the places... Strangely enough none of them were actually music teachers... the music teachers wern't interested!)

He asked me and a mate if we could do the sound and lighting for them if they played in assembly, and we had a load of stuff to mess arround with! They would play unnanounced, and we used to raise the stage curtain to the music from 2001: A space oddessy and smoke machines going off... that coupled with a transition of light getting brigher and adding more colours was just epic!

He also got us out of lessons to rehearse...! Legend! And he used to lend me albums to rip!
He got me into UFO, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Andy Timmons!

 

[Launcelot111]

My favorite teacher was my english teacher back in high school. He was an older guy with the most badass voice I've ever heard. He'd teach us sure, but he'd go off on just awesome tangents about how the various ways men should tie their ties or how William Faulkner was one of his college professors. He'd bring his dog to class and it would stand on the table and walk back and forth in front of us all class nudging tennis balls into our laps or licking us in the face. There was also a standing rumor that his annual paycheck was $1 and that he gave the rest back to the school.

One quarter, he didn't give us any assignments or have any grading basis except for class participation and how much he liked us. I didn't say a word in class all quarter and got an A-.

In Primary school it's-

My 4th year teacher (I think).
He was such a cool guy which everyone agree so hardly anyone had ever given him a hard time even the naughty kdis themselves.

In High school it was-
My Math teacher when I was in year 8 or 9.
She was a tomboy since she loved Football. Ok sure I wasn't into Football myself but she was a nice teacher who you can chat with while doing your work. WEll ok that's probably the reason why I went down a level and end up with that other boring Math Teacher (her Math class was 2nd rank in term of howgood/hard it is).

My I.T. teacher in my last year of school.
He was a new teacher to replace the old (literal) one and he was more casuel to us since we were sixth formers. Also he was very helpful with our work so I do own him some credits for helping me out when school was over.

My computer science teacher is pretty good, and I put him among the reasons I took that career.

Also, my thesis adviser was a pretty good guy... left us way too soon, sadly.

My Pre-calc professor from this summer has to be one of my favorites. She was light-hearted, she was excellent at explaining the material, she was good-looking, she had a couple fun and challenging extra-credit exercises, she brought in two-dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts one time when the entire class got a particular question on one of the tests right, and she offered to take us all out to an Ale House restaurant for food (and drinks for those of us who were legal) if not a single person in the class tripped up on the factoring of polynomials on the first test (she offers this to all her classes in the hopes that one of them would actually succeed, but none of them ever do; for the record, we were two people away[footnote]And knowing her, it isn't hard at all to believe she has a savings account with a few hundred bucks stowed away just for that occasion[/footnote]).

Yeah, I'd say she's my favorite so far. Yes, I just wrote a run-on sentence for her. No, I'm not going back to parse and re-structure that.

 

[DaWaffledude]

My current English teacher. She's scary as fuck, but in a good way. Very motivating.

Captcha: "Steal your face"

Well, I'm scared

 

[Sean Hollyman]

Mr Basher, because he was on the news once, and my sister jsut started and he's her reg teacher.
