I like my current relationship with my former 9th grade teacher, Cookie Newsome. After 20 years she has become one of my closest friends and confidants. she had an amazing impact on my life and I am forever grateful.

my favourite teacher of all time was my A level maths teacher. Mr. Taylor. He taught me maths and further maths. If you are wondering what further maths means it means even more maths. Half my timetable was maths, and the other half was physics and chemistry. That’s a lot of maths to put it mildly.
He taught excellent maths but more surprisingly he taught me a few little tidbits of philosophy – introducing me to Popper – and the excitement at everything has stayed with me until today.

teacher. i’m afraid of new teachers. i’m afraid of teachers i’ve been learning from for over a year. but teachers don’t hate me. i don’t know what i think about teachers.
i want more dried mangoes. :L
anyways. this person is annoying. like, really, don’t you get the message? jeez.

She doesn’t work in a school or have a blackboard.
No pencils.
No apples.
No unfortunate seasonal blouses.
But still – my mother has been the most effective teacher in my life.
Emma
I had this awesome teacher in high school, she taught Environmental Systems. She inspired me to become more conscious of the environment and my actions and how it affects the globe. She had a pet tortoise in her classroom, and a few years later, I now have one. She was such an inspiration and the epitome of what a great teacher should be. I love her.

Mrs. Walters was my favorite teacher, who had the strange class mixture of second and third grade. I remember I was in second grade, and a boy in the third grade section acted up and was in trouble. She switched he and I so that I was sitting in the third grade. I sat next to Jarred Crab, who I had the biggest crush on.It was the best day of my life. And across from some kid named Jacob who stapled his thumb. He was bizarre and smelled like glue. Jarred made it all worth it that day.
Ashley
my favorite teacher in high school was Miss Blue. I think she actually went by Ms. Blue, to avoid some sort of sexism. she inspired me to do so many things that I’m better for. She helped me figure who I was and provided this safe place for my mind to wander and explore new terrain. I’m so grateful for her and the ones like her.

the thing i want to be most, or at least the thing i think i want to be. i’ve studied it for years… many. too many. 6 years of schoolm struggling to find money, all to get a job where i make none. huh.

The smell of musty oak, moldy carpet and new paint fills my nose as I sit in my desk. I open the aged book that sits on the desk and start reading all the notes written by students about this class and how hard the teacher is going to be.

Mrs Ross was my kindergarten teacher. cookier, naps, I was late learning to tie my shoes. I liked to make pictures of steam shovels. Blocks. big puzzles. The class was in a huge room. We had gym inside.
He’s smart. And he’s handsome. And he’s funny. And his hair is perfect. And every time I walk into his office he gives me that look, that “There she is again” look. And he asks me for the thousandth time “Haven’t you graduated already?” and I laugh and I nod and I smile. And he smiles.
And then we talk, about life, about the universe, about what has changed and what hasn’t. And it’s like I’m back where I belong, in high school, and everything is okay, because he’s there.
Jessy
I always thought of you as a teacher, hyung, probably because you nag me so much. I act like I hate it, but that’s actually a lie.
A big fat lie.
I love it when you tell me what to do. Sometimes I find myself doing things wrong on purpose just to have you tell me how to do it right, or to have you scold me.
I’m just a twisted babo of a magnae, am I not?
calpico sky
teacher is the one who not only teaches how to solve the problem but also how to approach one. Good teachers in any profession are really hard to find.
blah
She teaches him everything she knows.
He won’t remember, but it doesn’t matter.
As long as he can hear her voice and recall the feelings, he’ll know and everything will be all right.
Because really, that is the lesson.
Everything will be all right.
For all the death, and the pain, and the suffering–
for all that she cannot touch him–
Everything will be all right.

This is the person who changes lives. Who looks at each student to find their hidden talents. The person who inspires the future of America. Teachers are the key to our future, too.
Scott Gomer
Teachers are amazing role models and a huge influence in students/kids lives. Without their knowledge and know how where would we end up in life? like the man living in an alley in a maytag box? or maybe flipping burgers. I would like to say thank you to my teachers! you guys made a huge difference in my life!
Daniel R.
Teacher teaches the pupils, the pupils take their knowledge and teach others the things their teachers taught them. Knowledge when shared can become diffuse; theorised upon and argued over. So when you’re being taught, why not all just have a fucking argument?
phil ellis
The teacher sits at the front of the classroom. A shiny red apple sits on the worn wood desk. The class is full of students, heads down, taking a test. The windows are open, the birds sing outside. And she wonders – is this really what I wanted?
How had she ended up in this place? The place most people try to leave as soon as possible she’d voluntarily returned to.
Karen
She was a good teacher, her hair russet with curls. An older woman in her mid-sixties with the laugh lines of a happily lead life. The children respected her, as did the staff. It was only six days left until…
Justin Walker
I have this teacher in my bioethics class and she makes me laugh and she makes the class interesting. She makes me not worry about showing up. I don’t even want to skip it. Yet I still wish she’d cancel class. That’s how lazy I am. I hate this.

My teacher in the 3rd standard was the best so far that i have met! she was very kind, understanding, affectionate and patient in everything i did.The best part about her

And learning happens
again.
Monica
My mother is a special education teacher. She is the most patient and amazing woman I know. She gives consistency and love to kids who are seen as different, are in and out of foster homes, and have a lack of discipline. She is the teacher that everyone should have in their life.
Donna
if i was a teacher, I’m not sure i would have the patience that they do today. with the constant interruptions and all other things, it seems hard to have to deal with that. Mostly I would be scared of letting people pass through the grade above without learning anything.
Kyle
Brining back memories of the time Mrs. Beck taught me to read with the wonderful stoiries of Jill and jack and the dog spot. How I enjoyed writing and creating stories for my friends down the line of whaat might happen in the future stories of intrigue and adventure.

To be a teacher. To watch one thrive on their own. To be there to encourage independant thought. To learn as you teach. Is there anything more rewarding, more exciting, to watch, to foster growth?
Tressa
teachers are the educators of out youth. without them we will not get anywhere. our youth are not as advanced in skills as other youth. we need more and better educators to get us up to where we should be in comparison to the rest of the world.
Christine Strawn
My teacher – Ben – he’s a great guy. Total sweetheart. You wouldn’t think he’d know how to hunt and trap and take out anything larger than a fly, but he can. Does. Well. Well enough to stay alive this long, long enough to be considering retirement in a few years. He’s taught me a lot. I hope I can live up to his trust and belief. I want to prove him right about me.
Melissa
I never really had a teacher that I respected until the 12 th grade. And then came Carole Shakely. I learned more from her in one year than i did from all the others in the previous 11 years of schooling. She actually taught me to think for myself, which has had a tremendous impact on my life and my career.
dennis j.
I hated teachers througout grade school. The only way I ever learnt something was if I put my mind to it and taught it to myself. My teachers were lazy, decrepit, and downright unintelligent. The only thing I got from grade school was the conviction to resist institutions while passing through them.
David Xiao
i wanted to be one once…still think about it, but i don’t know. i had some good ones in my life and some not so good ones, i suppose everyone has similar experiences in that regard. they are necessary.
chesha
Teaching is a calling before you can call it anything else – yes, truly. A good teacher can inspire thousands of children, and a bad one can cast the same thousands down into the depths of forever-menial work. Few others, even counting Beezelbub and his minions, have that sort of capabilities.
And there is no teacher better than one who treats it as a calling…

A teacher is someone who really has all the tools to instruct everyone upon anything, other than the simple act of breathing.
Ashley
I had a teacher in sixth grade who called me Jessie for the first time. It gave me butterflies every time he said it. Maybe that’s why I raised my hand so much to answer questions. Maybe that’s why I’m so inquisitive in class now. I know I was inquisitive before then, maybe he just helped.

Teacher is a person who teaches. But where does a teacher learn what she teaches? Is she still learning? or teaching what she learnt from her teacher?
Jasmine
inspiration, leader, learner. The best and the worst experience of sacrifice. Teacher should be an honour to have as a title, not a stick to beat people with.
I am proud to be a teacher, but prefer educator. I don’t teach, I try to lead.
