I love Teachers - they change lives! - tell me your best teacher story

[theivoryqueen]

seriously people, I work with the general public and I can always spot a teacher, whether elementary or college level. These people, by and large, are dedicated to helping us all be our best selves. They are the most unselfish lot I have encountered (as a profession) and I love them!!!!! Takes balls to do a job that really impacts society on a salary that is less than the "best boy" gets making a movie ABOUT TEACHERS.

1. Best teacher story?

Well I had a pregnant teacher for biology class. We were disecting worms, and she said "Turn the orgasm over to it's ventral side." She meant to say organism. :D

2. I had a lefty history teacher in high school...

ruined me for life!

I also had a conservative Social Studies teacher in Junior High, who was
the first right-winger I ever argued with. I loved to piss him off, and it
wasn't hard to do! :D

4. Sorry, I have very few good memories of teachers

One that really made me hate teachers punished me for doing my math school work without showing the working out part - the reason was, I'd transferred from another school that was more advanced and knew this stuff already.
She didn't care - she made me do it all over again - same answers, still correct, but done her way. BITCH

I was 8 then, I'm in my 50s now, and it still annoys me.

There are many out there like that.

Sorry to ruin your thread but I had to vent.
