<p>im currently soph in public high school
i was just wondering on my school website and found out that my physics teacher has Bachelor of Science in AstroPhysics @ University of Rochester
Master of Science in Astronomy @ UC Santa Cruz </p>
<p>i was just surprised.....wow...
i mean he could have had better job(private school or something)......wow in public school</p>
<p>My Algebra II teacher in freshman year got her Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD in Physics (yeah, a little awkward), all at Cornell. You'd think that she'd be working somewhere else, but I guess not.</p>
<p>The doctor who talked to me yesterday went to Stanford and used to teach AP Spanish and AP Biology in high school. I don't know if it was public or not, but nevertheless, we need more people like him. </p>
<p>But you have to admit, you are lucky to have such good teachers with great credentials. Be thankful for their generosity of taking the time to help you become great as well.</p>
<p>I am grateful for having accredited instructors help me with my studies. It makes life easier. I wouldn't have to go through a whole year with a teacher that would be less competent.</p>
<p>I have a couple of teachers with those sort of credentials. Man, they must really love teaching.</p>
<p>he is my favorite teacher
and he was the one that got me into science....</p>
<p>Many of the teachers here have master's degrees, and a few that teach at the highest level (Spanish V and English Comp) are doctorates. I would not necessarily say they were that good...</p>
<p>My statistics teacher has a bachelors from Holy Cross, and a doctorate (maybe 2) in mathematics and physics. He taught in public high school his whole life. My mom teachers, she has a double masters.</p>
<p>50% of our teachers have masters, but only two have doctorates. My chem teacher is one of the two and she is awesome. The other one with a doctorate a special ed teacher or something like that though.</p>
<p>She also has several food patents. She co-created the Wheat Thins for Nabisco with one or two other people plus she made a couple of other things for them</p>
<p>I love Wheat Thins. Best for midnight munchies.</p>
<p>I guess about half of my teachers have Masters degrees. No doctorates, though.</p>
<p>One of the network administrators at my school has an MBA.</p>
<p>One of the history teachers at my school went to the University of Michigan, and used to be a stockbroker.</p>
<p>Two of the teachers at my school went to Brown.</p>
<p>One of the history teachers at my school went to Columbia, then Harvard.</p>
<p>ihateCA.....maybe you go to a nice private school...</p>
<p>My English teacher is a published author, the science teacher an ex-nuclear engineer with a patent related to plutonium, the social studies teacher has a masters in intelligence and various other degrees and flew in the Navy, the math teacher's husband owns Big Hunk candy bars, the other math teacher went to Choate........we may have nothing else, but the teachers are cool!
oh and one went to Cornell and played big-time Ultimate Frisbee...sweet.</p>
<p>I found out that the teacher at my school worked on quantum physics and then scored perfect on every teacher exam except for math, so he decided to teach that. I dont know how, but he speaks spanish, french, latin, italian, some greek, and arabic.</p>
<p>My Trigonomitry teacher got his bachelor's degree from Columbia University and my English Honors teacher went to Georgetown University for her bachelor's degree and Columbia for her masters.</p>
<p>my teachers:</p>
<p>French - Cornell
Physics - Lake Forest College
History - PhD from UNC
Band - Indiana University (best music school in the country)
Math - Wayne State
English - LeMoyne College
Drama - PhD Wayne State</p>
<p>All of our teachers have to have gone through some insane studies to teach. That's how it works in the French system. That makes me happy, to be honest.</p>
<p>But our American teachers have graduated from:
- UC Berkeley
- UC Berkeley
- UC Berkeley
- UChicago (but left to go to UC Berkeley)
...
I'm not even kidding.</p>
<p>My favorite teacher (he's the one who got me into philosophy) has done perhaps the hardest studies in France. He speaks something like 10 languages fluently (the ones I know: French, English, German, Ancient Greek/Modern Greek, Latin etc.). He could be a university professor or something and I'm not sure why he's not.</p>
