Do you ever think of all the teachers you had why you remember some and completely forgotten others ? I once had a teacher like the kind Leave it to Beaver had and would always say I was having trouble so she would come over and stand next to me and talk to me. I would get jealous if she was helping anyone else and would claim I was having problems again and over she came. Most of the time in that class I just stared at her, I didn't learn much. I also had the other type of teacher (mean). This guy had a peculiar shaped nose, he could shoot pool with that thing. I nicknamed him Cyrano. He was a hitter, I saw him slap boys and girls who were talking. He had this huge picture of himself in a glass frame hanging on the wall, kind of reminded me of Hitler and other dictators who had large images of themselves where ever they made speeches. Anyway, one day some hooligan drew testicles on it right under the nose, no, it wasn't me, I never could draw. I saw the teacher in the hall talking to the vice principle, " They drew testicles under my nose " . The vice principle was staring at his shnoz, " How's that ? " The teacher said, " They drew on my picture in the classroom " He cleaned it off when he came back in and took his picture off the wall and never put it back up. I don't know why I still think of some of these teachers, it's been many years since I was in school.

My favorite teacher was my 6th grade teacher. She always decorated our classroom on every holiday. And took us on picnics and field trips. It was the best school year that I ever had. She was probably in her 60's at the time. She was firm but fair. I loved her!:) I think that the worst teacher I had was my world history teacher in 11th grade. All he did was talk about sports and we really never did get around to learning anything. The class was boring but easy to pass!;)

We went on a lot of field trips and picnics in 6th grade too, maybe because it was the last year for us in that school.

I had many age 45+ schoolteachers in grammar school. I always wished I had a young teacher. My parents were older too and seeing someone young might have helped me more. I was shy and timid. Two of the teachers I had age 50+ died during the years I had them. We had replacements who weren't much younger. To look back and think of the classmates and the kids faces are vague.

My spanish teacher was real nice. She had a Halloween and Christmas party (one of those holidays we got to smash a pinata.) every year. She was so creative teaching the class that it was very RARE for someone to fail a test in her class. She was patient with her students also. Always there to help when needed and opened her classroom during lunch for kids who wanted to have lunch there instead of the cafeteria. My first and second grade teacher would take our class every now and then to get ice cream at the corner market. (Sadly though, she passed away at 53 in 2006 of cancer.) My 6th grade teacher took me to Pizza Hut and to go get some new clothes when I was going to a new school that year. One of my Math teachers in 8th and 11th grade was a go with the flow type guy. It was REAL easy to pass his class. There was a few teachers I didnt care for, but for the most part, I had alot of great teachers. Some good valuable lessons learned from them also (not just about the classroom, but life in general.)

Yeah, I had a teacher that would spend a lot of her own money at our Christmas party, bought candy and gifts for all the kids. I would imagine many of my teachers have died by now,they would be in their 70s and 80s. I'm almost positive my Latin teacher is dead, she looked like 100 years old back then. I think rigor mortis was already setting in while she taught.

I think a lot of my teachers are probably dead too. Some were in their 60's back then and that was back in the 1970's and early 1980's. I often wonder about them.

Didn't you hate it when it rained and you couldn't go out for recess ?
We had to stay in the class and play checkers/old maid/board games
and since we didn't have air conditioning it would get pretty humid in the room. Everybody would start sweating and some kids would start smelling
kind of sour. But as soon as the bell rang I raced off to do what I liked best, rummage thru the lost and found. I always came home with something, gloves,hats,sweaters and lots of pencils.

There are teachers I remember because of their kindness to me and others because of how terribly they treated me.

I know I've posted about it before.

I had a fifth grade teaher, Mrs. Petrizzo, humilitate me in fromt of the class. She made me stamd up in front of the room for half an hour because she thought I could see what was on the overhead projector, but I couldn't.

I had a teacher in high school, named Chuck Holcomb, who worked with the visually impaired and blind students. I didn't like him. He was constantly playing jokes on us. He loved tripping us with his foot since we couldnt see it. There were times when he would also think it was funny to pull chairs out from under us right before we went to sit down so we would hit the floor. He would put ice down some of the students backs. He even put vaseline on the door knob and told one of the kids to taste it because it was mayonaise.

Then there were the teachers that were nice. I had an 8th grade Earth Science teacher, Mrs. Hughes. She was nice. She sometimes gave up her free peiord to help me. :)

Then in high school as a tenth grader I was in Mrs. Drury's English class. She was so nice to me. She cared and that meant a lot. :)

There was one other teacher Mrs. Cusack, who is no longer friends with me. I was in her 12th grade sociology class. She was once cool years ago.

I didn't have any teacher friends in college although there was one cute professor, Dr. Davis. He was nice. I was tempted to take one of his history classes simply because he was teaching it, lol. I decided not to as I'm not a history buff. I had already taken my required history classes.
