:D My old Physics teacher - Mr Hume. He let me blow up a hydrogen balloon :P :evil:

Hmm, that's a hard one.

The teacher that first comes to mind is Mr. Trgovac, who I had for gifted in 6-8 grades, bullied me into MathCounts in 7th grade, and taught my science in 8th grade. He was the one teacher I knew I could get away with talking back to, and the one who got a kick out of it, too. He was a good teacher, too, and last year was the first time in a long time I'd started to enjoy science. He really cared, too. I remember in 7th grade I was just having a rough time of it, and he could tell...he took me out of my social studies class, emptied the teachers' lounge of the couple people in there, and just let me cry.

So, yea, he's pretty high on the list. I also loved Mrs. Haubert, who I had for English last year, though I can't pinpoint what it was about her so easily.

Now, I really like Mrs. Cooke, my food teacher. She's incredibly nice, and goes above and beyond what she needs to do.

The Geography teacher I had for my last two years at school, so long ago heh. That was Mr Cameron and he was one of those great teachers whose enthusiasm for the subject is catching and doesn't stand for any disrespect (in a good way). It was always funny seeing all the other bad kids from neighbouring classes being sent to him (as he was the geog head) and watching him go ballistic at them then offering his class some biscuits :D

Plus in my last year he let me spend most of his classes down in the library where I could do work, read books or play cards with my mates, hehe. My highers year was caught up in an exam marking fiasco where papers were marked incorrectly and when I got a B he wrote to them straight away demanding it be remarked. And I got a A xD

I think he's probably retired now, but knowing how much he enjoyed his job he's probably still there :)

I try to distance myself from teacher's personalities. So, no, I don't have a favourite teacher as such. However, I rate their teaching abilities mentally, so I dread going to a lesser-abled teacher.

My favorite teacher is my Latin teacher, Mrs. Romanic, or J-Ro as we call her. She respects us as students and doesn't yell at us for a lot of things that other teachers would probably yell at people for, and she treats us as equals. She's also really helpful with class stuff, and can fix almost anything in your memory. Really helpful for people like myself who can't memorize worth a damn.

I hope I get her again next year....The other Latin teacher is an idiot....

For me, it would have to be my Religion teacher Ms. Ricci.

Ms. Ricci has been my teacher every semester (French Extended teacher, that's why) and she is just so cool. I really like her, she is so nice and actually likes her students. She is just so down to Earth and she knows A LOT about religion and french especially. It'll be so sad next year when we leave high school.

'cept she hates all us normies :'(

My favourite teachers have been my Drama teacher, Ms. Buchert, who has taught me better than anyone else how to be a politician, and helpped me get over my knacks for stage.

and my economics teacher, Mr. D'Angelo, who really proves truth in the quote The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn (Cicero). He isn't a strict guy, and with his approach you find yourself inclined to learn rather than readilly distracted by something silly like "Why wont they give me that extra mark".

I want to be a High School teacher too, so I'm trying to do my best to take aspects from all the teachers I have, even if I don't entirely like them.

I really like almost all my teachers- but my current favorite is Ms. Graan. She's my Social Studies teacher. She's a big Star Wars/Amazing Race/West Wing fan... like me. She really teaches well, and is very helpful. Plus, social studies is my favorite subject... so...

My favorite teacher would have to be our theatre director, Mr. Hill. He's a cool guy and he understands us better than other teachers. Plus, when he's hanging out with the theatre geeks, he acts like one of us. It's too bad he won't be here next year...

Primary school and junior high teachers are nuts.

High school students are more mature. Plus, you don't have to teach slimy little buggers who don't like class because they will have dropped out by then. D:
