<p>What subject(s) did your favorite teacher(s) teach, and why are they your favorite(s)?</p>
<p>Mine are:</p>
<p>My sixth grade teacher. She helped me adjust to my new school after I had moved and in seventh grade, got me through some major crap.</p>
<p>My sophomore Englsih teacher. She helped me out a lot. She actually cared and listened and worked with students to make sure that they were learning and that things were going right. </p>
<p>My sophomore bio teacher. He was hillarious. He was just so blunt and honest. It made class interesting. I actually got in a verbal fight with him once. We were both yelling at each other. Good times...</p>
<p>My Latin teacher. He's hillarious. I've never had a teacher so off topic but yet on topic. He actually cares about the students and its obvious. He'll stay an hour, or sometimes more after school to help students, and get there an hour early. He works with us and helps a lot.</p>
<p>My sixth and seventh grade math teacher was so funny and a great teacher. I miss him.</p>
<p>My current APUSH teacher. She is so amazingly smart. My entire grade is obsessed with her. She taught at a liberal arts college for the past few year and she just knows everything and is such a good lecturer. I’m going to miss her so much. At least she’s writing my rec.</p>
<p>My calculus teacher is amazing. First time I’ve legitimately understood math in quite a while. And I’ll have him for BC next year too!</p>
<p>Sophomore history - The guy has a rep for being mean and having one of the hardest courses in the school, but he’s a really great guy, which is something most kids got after a couple of days. He’s a really really great teacher too. Very easy to listen to. I also like him because we have some similar interests. We both love history (history has always been my favorite, but he’s the teacher that made me really love it), college football, and he’s a huge supporter of the band which I am a leader in. So we get along really well too.</p>
<p>Band teacher - Another guy that has a rep that’s worse than it should be. As a freshie, you’re horrified of him. And upperclassmen feed that (something that I have done too, now that I’m older), but they all know he’s the nicest one. He’s just a really nice guy that cares about the band. He yells sometimes, but it’s ok. We need to do work sometimes.</p>
<p>8th grade reading - The actual reading done in the class was minimal. Most of the class was just discussing quotes or current events. One of the more enlightening classes. I learned a ton, just not about reading. </p>
<p>Journalism teacher - It was nice when I had the class because a lot of the kids were super obnoxious. He was really sarcastic to them. I was the only one that got it. He’s also the newspaper adviser (imagine that - a journalism teacher doing paper) so now I can joke about that class. Just a chill guy. Fun to be with. The teacher I am most friends with.</p>
<p>My Chem teacher (Also Freshmen Science, Chem 1 and 2) was superb. He was by far the most competent teacher I’ve ever had and gave informative no-nonsense lessons that, according to friends of mine who have gone on to college already, prepare us for college quite well. I’ve also spent time talking to him and he has great stories and a hilarious sense of humor. One day when someone was very weary about pouring some chemicals into a waste beaker (He asked if it would blow up) he waited until he started pouring, walked up behind him and shook him saying “BOOM!”.</p>
<p>My Journalism teacher (My school changes it’s tech department classes drastically every year and at the time Journalism was the best class to get to play with computers) who later became my Broadcast journalism teacher is absolutely awesome. We became friends and started a computer club for my school together with a few other students. I spent all my lunches and “flexes” (Basically study hall during the other lunch) down in his room hanging about with the other techies and getting some cool work done. He was a new teacher my freshmen year so we really helped each other learn and that was a great experience.</p>
<p>The APES teacher in our school is AMAZING. He teaches you, comical, etc.
Calculus teacher, tried his very best to teach and you actually learn something.</p>
<p>I liked all of my elementary teachers except for K. We had them for 3 years, so they were like relatives or something. </p>
<p>Modern History teacher (9th) He was so excited about teaching, and he was great at it. I was rereading my modern history note book (I loved the class so much that I still have it) and I was realizing how much he taught us. But we always had fun. He was a great teacher, both in the classroom and on the numerous field trips we went on. Just a really cool guy.
Chem (AA in 10th and AP in 12th) teacher. He’s so funny. He teaches without a text book. He’s really really smart. The only reason I first looked at WUStL is because he went there, and majored in Biology and Chemistry and learned perfect French. He’s just really cool and everyone loves him. And he listens to hardcore '90s rap which is even more hilarious because he’s a white middle aged Jewish man. His entire iPod is like Tupac and Biggie.
AP Art History teacher (11th) She’s basically who I want to grow up to be. She’s amazing. She is one of the nicest people I know, if not the nicest. She’s very stylish, which I know shouldn’t matter that much, but it so does. When you meet her, you can’t help but respect her. You don’t get mad if she gives you a detention because it’s done in such an orderly and perfect way. She’s honestly incredible. It’s indescribable. And it is so lame that I can’t retake Art History every year of my life till I die.</p>
<p>9th grade English Teacher: Really nice, and I just really liked the way she ran the class. Also a great person to talk to outside of class.</p>
<p>9th/10th grade Science Teacher: Perfect combination of great teacher/really cool person. Her teaching style was very organized and she was a great teacher, she was also young and really cool. One particular thing was that she gave <em>great</em> help outside of class before tests and stuff. She was really nice, too.</p>
<p>10th grade math teacher: Not particularly exciting, but he is amazing at explaining math. He made it so unbelievably clear. And hey, that’s what his job is, right?</p>
<p>10th grade Spanish teacher: Just so unbelievably nice, also managed to make the course material really interesting. </p>
<p>11th grade English Teacher: Amazing. She is so incredibly smart. She’s also a completely amazing teacher. She has this amazing, quirky, sarcastic sense of humor, and I can’t believe I don’t get to have class with her again. Our personalities went together really well most of the time. She’s writing my college rec. </p>
<p>11th grade history teacher: Most amazing history teacher I’ve ever had. Totally, completely changed my perspective on what studying history means. Also possibly the smartest person I’ve ever met. His classes were incredible; I can’t even begin to describe them. He’s also quite funny. And, he managed to give us minimal work while still having us learn more in one year than I ever have. Truly an amazing, amazing class. And that really means a lot coming from me - I <em>hate</em> history. But this teacher really changed my perspective.</p>
<p>My chem teacher. He taught me chem in junior year and AP chem in senior year. I don’t feel too strongly about him, but I like him better than all of my other teachers that I have ever had</p>
<p>My Latin teacher–He’s hillarious. The intercom was broken in the class room so it was beeping constantly and irratating everyone. He suddenly looks up with this “LIGHTBULB” expressions, “HEY, YOU GUYS WANT TO GO ON A FIELD TRIP?” We then walked to Starbucks. If you didn’t have money, he’d pay. I guess he got in a little trouble for it, but nothing too bad.</p>
