Who was your favorite teacher in highschool? And who was your least favorite that made you ick?

My 10th grade Danish teacher at boarding school. (We have 0-9th grade here with 10th as an optional - no "high school") Heck, think all my boarding school teachers were AMAZING and had an impact on me.
A ancient man, who looked like a bulldog - everytime he'd get mad - he'd shake his head and his cheeks would flip flop to the sides while he called us "dog heads", "skiderikker" (can't translate that one) and it LOOKED hilarious, especially since his dialect was strong asf so I couldn't always understand him. He'd come out to the "smoker" as well, sit there - smoking his pipe, telling stories (such knowledge) and he's the reason I started speaking Danish properly.
Lol bulldog common now but he was the reason you can speak Danish now and that's good but with those Characteristics you mentioned I would be really pissed off can't learn in an environment were some one who is teaching is smoking
Lol, I learned quite well even with him smoking on his pipe. In fact, his pipe smoking gave me comfort since it brought me back to being around my grandfather. Helped with being away from home x twice. (Being a migrant + being in boarding school)
Okay
I've had a few good teachers.
One of my favourite teachers has the same birthday as me.
The worst was when I was 10. She was so awful to me and a few others.
Not many kids my age at the time liked her.
She did have a favourite.
He was a boy in my class. She would always write notes on his projects saying "You're the light of my life."
Even at that age I thought it was weird.
I remember years later in my early 20s, a friend who I still talk with. Called her a slag. Haha
One of my favorite teachers in high school was my history teacher. Her passion for the subject and engaging teaching methods made every class fascinating. She had a way of connecting historical events to present-day issues, sparking curiosity and discussion. As for my least favorite, there was a math teacher whose rigid approach and lack of patience made learning challenging for many students. It's incredible how much a teacher's attitude can impact the learning experience.

Favorite: Mr. Z. I had to take him after failing my math high school exit exam. He normally tought Special Ed kids, so he had so much patience and taught like he was explaining to a child. I was the last one to understand a problem and he literally let me go up to the white board and show him how I was doing it, and he explained why it was wrong. And his method of approach was to teach us enough just to get a passing score. He said he'd rather teach us less, but spend two or three days on one thing to make sure we've got it down, instead of just cramming in as much as he can just for us to forget it. So he tought us just enough to get a passing score. Even I was shocked by my score. He even made a deal with the class that if we pass the exit exam he'll give us an A in the class and he has no problem explaining that to the principle. I think everyone in that class ended up passing. There was also other things besides his teaching. He let us hang out in his class at lunch and watch movies, and he would take us out of other classes to do landscaping work. Once me and my friend had a speed walking race with him😂Teachers like him are a dime a dozen.
Least favorite: Was another math teacher called Mr. Dempsey. It was so obvious he hated his job. Sometimes he was in a good mood and would tell stories/jokes and show us movies, and give us hot substitute that some kid recommend, but mostly he was grumpy and an asshole. He would talk shit about his own nephew and call students who couldn't understand the problems "stupid". And one time he sent a kid to the principle because he asked him if he went deer hunting, 'cuz he wanted some different meat. Even the principle seemed dumbfounded
My 10th grade English teacher was my least favorite. She was a preacher and often preached to us instead of taught us English and she wrote me up for writing a story that had a few curse words in it, but it was honestly how my peers spoke in school so I just wrote what I knew and who was my primary audience. Mind you, I was an honor roll student who had never been written up before. The assistant principal dismissed it because of this and just told me to not distribute my writing in class which sucked because everyone really loved what I wrote.
My 12th grade teacher was my favorite. Miss Tomlinson. She encouraged my writing and said it was really good. She's the reason I write now and plan on publishing my novel one day.
Wow didn't know you are a writer that's good at least one of your teachers Encouraged you that's actually good
Yeah I am and yeah I'm so thankful for her. She really pushed me to become a writer!
My 9th grade biology teacher was one of the best I've had. He kept it real all yearāhe didnāt care who came in and out of his class. If you were there to learn, heād teach you, but if you werenāt invested, he wasnāt going to waste his time. Probably the best teacher to have. On the other hand, my Algebra 1 teacher he played favorites, giving extra attention to the athletes and the students who were already doing well, and spent half the class talking about basketball instead of actually teaching. With that being said still a lot of respect for the teachers that go above and beyond for their students.
Physics teacher in high school. This guy was fantastic. He owned horses and trained them to be racehorses. He really made the subject matter understandable and you could tell that he loved it and loved teaching. He was an old man even then, long gone now. I still miss the guy to this day.
What teacher did I hate? Really can't think of anyone... That is until I went back to college in my 30s and took a history class from a "renowned" Harvard professor. I could not believe the fractured history that this leftist idiot was teaching. He wanted to make his students hate this country. That's when I realized that the schools were being taken over by an anti-American leftist movement. It's the first time I understood that the schools were now about indoctrinating children not educating them. It was a real wake up call for me.
And it just occurred to me when I was thinking about this that he was a teacher who taught me this math trick that I used to this day. In all the other math courses I took no one ever pointed that out to me. As a matter of fact I just applied that trick a week or two ago. It's really sort of an understanding not a trick. It helps you understand math problems.
My PE teacher sold me a moped on the cheap. He won it in a contest and didn't want it.
Google has no clue what a moped is.
Mo=moter
Ped=Pedals.
They had pedals for when you were in a hurry! You could cross the country and get turtle soup with two quarts of gas!
Later I got a Honda scooter. A real hog.

That's cool! Yes I know what a moped is. I've ridden them.
I have that Beach Boys song on a record somewhere in the house. š
If you Google moped, they have no clue.
I think the word may have been redefined over the years to include small motorbikes even if they don't have pedals.
Here's what Wikipedia says...
"A moped (MOH-ped) is a type of small motorcycle, generally having a less stringent licensing requirement than full motorcycles or automobiles. Historically, the term exclusively meant a similar vehicle with both bicycle pedals and a motorcycle engine. Mopeds typically travel only slightly faster than bicycles on public roads."
Yep, the forgot the pedals.

There's something about acoustic... So soothing.
Yes there is. I played both acoustic and electric in my teens and twenties and in several bands. Always had a special place for acoustic. That video I posted is one of my favorite electric guitar solos. Here's another. This was the year that I graduated high school. A close friend of mine who I still talk to was at this concert... It was right around the time we graduated.

One of my favorite acoustic performances...

Nice song.

Pick that guitar back up.
Most people don't know that BB couldn't play and sing at the same time. He wasn't ambidextrous. But he could make his guitar sing.

My cousin has a replica of Lucile.
So far itād have to be my history teacher from the first two years, heās awesome. The classroom has an inviting but not annoyingly energetic atmosphere, something about the way he teaches made everything enjoyable, and he always put it an effort to make things as fun as they could be instead of just, āhereās some papers. Get to workā. As for my least favorite, I think itās my current English teacher. Always giving homework on fucking Fridays and avoiding any other day like the plague. Besides that sheās cool though.
Lol I don't know why sometimes English teachers behave like that sometimes lol š
My 4th grade teacher embarrassed me in front of the whole class, but I see you're talking about HS.
My favorite teacher was probably my history teacher because she was so animated and left me with a lot of stories to tell, though she also was very opinionated.
My least favorite was one who tried to be hip and cool and generally made a fool of himself. Fortunately I only had him for a month or two while the regular teacher had surgery - he wasn't a sub but a regular teacher who stood in.
that's good but the one you said tried to be hip and cool lol š
Fav was ceramics, least fav.. sargent gen English teacher. Most felt sorry for was the science teacher who snapped, told everyone to get out and locked himself in the classroom. Didn't blame him in the slightest.
Lol what 𤣠well I feel sorry for him I think he was going through a lot
My favorite was a tie between my philosophy teacher and history teacher. They were both great. We had fun in their classes.
My least favorite was the sports teacher. He was a creep. We caught him once peeking into the girl's changing room when we had swimming lessons. He was let go, not sure why but one can dream it was because he was a creep.
What that's bad and he never got reported right
My favorite was my English teacher, who was also the track coach. I had him freshman and junior year.
I didn't have an ick teacher. My junior history teacher was probably my least favorite... not because of him... it was my worst class grade-wise.
I had an English teacher in my senior year that was my favorite teacher/ . He was just a cool guy and I actually went back to my high school to visit him a few years after I graduated.
My biology teacher inspired me to teach biology. He knew his stuff and was caring yet firm. I remember one boy yawning in the middle of class. Mr. M. just gave him the "teacher look." That shut him up quickly.
My piano teacher was my favourite and also a giant inspiration. We would spend hours talking about music.
Me!!! I'm my own favorite HS teacher!!
