I had both good and bad teachers in school.
Those I found to be the best were the ones who truly wanted you to know what they knew.
Not to impress you or to fill your brain with their thoughts but to share their enthuiasm for the subject.
I'm not sure it would be a good idea to show up entirely dressed in black for the first interview though.

Wow i never even thought of it like that. You have inspired me and i thank you for that. I hate science lessons and don't really learn alot about science but i've learnt alot about other stuff that he has taken the time to explain and then continue teaching. Small stories that he tells do have meaning and we all remember and learn things from them. Fantastic rant.

I can't really say I like any of my teachers there all Catholic and I seem to offend them by walking into there classes. My english teacher thinks my poems are to morbid to send to the examiners and my art teacher thinks that my art is to Dark/Creepy/Spookey to put up around the school like all the other kids work. I know that teachers have it hard with kids but what I don't see is why they single me out for being 'Gothic'.

Sorry, I didn't read all that you wrote but not all teachers have it bad. Some actually love their job. One teacher told the class last year is that the reasons why people become teachers is not for the money but because they are driven by compassion, anger, determination, and satifaction of teaching students something that they'll use in life. Rather if it's learning how to find your grade point average using math or just giving advice. There are things students learn that they'll use in life.

If it weren't for my 3rd grade tearcher I don't know where i would be… if it weren't for her understanding my breakdowns into tears in the middle of class at the memmory of the night before, and if it weren't for her encouraging words to keep going i may have given up on everything. Even to this day when I'm breaking completely my grades are falling and nothing seems important anymore she can open my eyes just in time for me to fix everything.

If it ween't for my chorus teacher I wouldn't have as strong of a want to get out of this city as i do

If it weren't for my english teacher i wouldn't feel as confident about my work… if it wasn't for her always checking my tests first so she could again tell me i got all of the uestions right or only one wrong before the class was over to try and lift me from my depessive state at the moment, i wouldn't last through out the day. Her complement on the last essay of the year and her insistance that i not over look the fact that she thought i was writting a collage level paper in 7th grade I probally wouldn't believe the essay to be any good, and I wouldn't feel as encouraged to go through with my plans for the future…

So i guess my point is that teachers have madea a great ipact on my life, and I've always felt bad for the way they are treated… If you became a teacher I'm sure you would be the best thing to happen to some of your students in their whole lifes, i hope if you decide to go down that path that it works out for you.

If it weren't for my 7th grade science teacher, I would have never learned how to save lives, to appreciate all types of art, and to face the reality that their isn't always good in the world (diease, war, etc.).
If it wasn't for Ms. Hail, I would have never had given a new friend the time of day because of his mental disabilaties.
If it wasn't for my 1st grade math teacher, I would have never discovered my love of numbers.
If it was for my 6th grade teacher I would have never brought Shakespeare to class and learned the hard truth, teacher don't like it when you surpass them.
And finally my fave teacher, my parents. Dad for polictics. Mom for everything inbetween.
Awesome rant.

Yes I do know what you mean, if it had not been for Mr. Jhon Dubose I would never of though that I could be a leader, With out Mr. Young I would never I understood math, she gave me the tools I needed to suceed in it, and no I have had no teachers that have tought me good grammer but I am going to take 2 classes next year so i can write better. And Dr. Ron Ashley taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to and know I run a studio at High School and have a office for my show. So w/o teachers I would not be where I am now! Plain and simple. I am going to have my mom read this I think she will like it she is a teacher too and soon in about 4 yr's I may be joining those rankes of teachers as a Tv production teacher. and I may say and I know many have told you this but you would be a good teacher if you have the right students I would be honered to be taught by you.

"Those who are taught to memorize the world as it is, will never create the world as it might be"
- Sign hanging in my math class

With a brief nod to what Spectre said earlier, my band teacher taught me how to love music and how to work hard to achieve my dreams. I think you would make a fine teacher, though I am curious as to which subjects you would teach.
