Anyone else have great teachers?

<p>My school doesn't have much of anything (no clubs, no people, about one AP class that's not online, very few sports teams, very little money, etc), but I recently noticed how good our teachers are. We have an ex-nuclear engineer science teacher, ex-navy pilot (history and civics) with a master's in intelligence and other degrees, a great math teacher with a TON of varied degrees, an internationally renowned poet who now teaches English, and another author...I think it's pretty awesome. Anyone else have great, inspiring teachers?</p>

<p>our opera/ap macroeconomics teacher founded the magnet/humanities program in our school and has helped many seniors get into those ultra competitive schools, such as the ivy leagues and the higher tier UC schools.</p>

<p>What's weird is sometimes the most highly reputed teachers at my school really suck, whereas the ones that students hate are quite good. Like my English teacher -- he doesn't seem to care much about his students, but for whatever reason everyone loves him.</p>
