Tell me about a teacher you admire!

You don't have to name names, of course, but just say what it is that you admire about them (and what they teach/do... APUSH teacher, Guidance Counselor, etc.)

I admire my Pre-Calculus teacher. This is the first time that I've been completely confident in a math class. She's laid back but she's a fantastic teacher and I can just tell that she loves Math and she really does love teaching which is a wonderful combination.

She's also quite the comedian, and I always love someone with a sense of humor.

I adore my English teacher. Way too much. I basically laugh every time she talks because she usually says something hilarious/potentially inappropriate.

I can't get into details (I pinky-promised her!), but she is the strongest person i've ever met. She made me love school and love English again, and because of that I want to be a teacher too.

When I grow up, I hope I end up being half as awesome as she is.

My Algebra 2 teacher from last year. She always pushed me to check my work and do my hw which is a problem for me. And she always told me I was good at math
And my Freshman english teacher. I have lunch with her sometimes and she always makes sure I'm okay if I look sad or something

My Calculus teacher. We play charades and he is so passionate about everything. If you don't understand anything, he will stay after as long as needed.

Not to mention, he's just the definition of cool

My English teacher from last semester.
I loved her teaching method and how she would explain something in a personal way.
We also connected through an essay that I wrote for my college apps.
Plus, she would always answer when I called her for help on an assignment and was very prompt on replying back to my e-mails.

Not a teacher, but I'm the student member of the district school board. The adult board member that sit next to me was apparently really impressed by me tonight. I touched upon a bunch of really controversial stuff, and I guess he was impressed by my boldness. He gave me his business card and personal email. We started talking and he was the democratic state senate candidate for our district last election. I think that's just awesome, and me and him talked alot about it. Tonight was a cool night.

i admire my history professor (i'm in college so that's why i call him professor).

why?

because i feel like he really understands human history and it means something to him. he really conveys the energy and trying and incremental advancement that got us to doing some sophisticated farming and beyond.

yeah mostly i just like the exploring part and to hear about how humans spread everywhere and how it happened. that whole story. but he does a good job of saying it out.
