Where did your teachers go?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
21

<p>I've had teachers from Michigan, Berkeley, UCLA (many), USC, Oberlin, NYU, and various CSU's and lesser UC's.</p>

22

<p>Well, I have a teacher from Ithaca College, one from St. Something or Other, and a guidance counselor from Ithaca College. I have a chemistry teacher... Idk where he went, either Yale, Princeton, or Stanford.</p>

23

<p>most of my teachers went to one of our state schools... University of Maryland, Towson, or Salisbury. and most graduating students follow the same path.</p>

24

<p>Many of the teachers for my S's AP level classes have their degrees from UCLA, some from USC and Berkeley. There are a smattering of CSU's and some flagship publics from other states (e.g. Michigans.) There are a couple of Ivies in there as well, I forget from well. The AP Physics teacher has a PhD, not sure from where. He is addressed as Dr. X, amd per my S is a little quirky/nerdy but knows his stuff.</p>

25

<p>out of the 6 classes i'm taking this semester:</p>

<p>cornell, penn, penn, ucla(grad degree from harvard), muhlenberg(ironically, the smartest of the bunch), dartmouth</p>

26

<p>When I saw the thread title, I thought: "Well, my World History teacher went on maternity leave, and my US History I teacher went to Iraq as part of the National Guard."</p>

<p>But then I read the post, and I don't know what colleges my teachers went to. Oh, except, the aforementioned US History I teacher went to Rutgers and LOVED/LOVES it. He had a daughter last year, and he said that he's going to make her go to Rutgers. :p</p>

27

<p>Majority are from University of Delaware and Villanova. University of Delaware actually has a decent education program but they don't turn out great high school teachers. I wish that my school put more effort into hiring decent teachers.</p>

28

<p>my teachers have never actually mentioned where they went, but most of them probably went in random places we don't know haha</p>

<p>But one interesting thing is that the other day, I found out that our computer teacher was one of the first people to put together a computer and her husband created the internet! The internet was made for research at Cern, where he worked, and then they decided to make it global cuz it was so helpful...haha just thought that was a cool bit of information =]</p>

29

<p>^not sure I completely believe that because I'm pretty sure the internet was invented for military purposes so generals could send signals to faraway places.</p>

30

<p>Mostly UND or NDSU</p>

<p>My english teacher went to UW-Madison</p>

<p>No where special.</p>

31

<p>my current gym teacher went to upenn...im so confused.</p>

32

<p>I'd say roughly 90% of teachers at my school went to a state school - either Illinois State University or University of Illinois. Some of them are amazing teachers while others, well, are not.</p>

<p>The other 10% went to small privates like Illinois Wesleyan University or Augustana.</p>

33

<p>App State, UNC or NC State usually</p>

<p>My AP Bio teacher went to UVA and than Notre Dame.</p>

<p>My physics teacher went to St. John's in MD. So you would think he would devalue grades and want us to work outside the system, yes? Haha, no.</p>

<p>My art/art history teacher went to UMD. But she's an artist, so I don't think where she went is that important.</p>

<p>My bioethics teacher went to Georgetown.</p>

<p>My English teacher went to St. Joseph College in Emmitsburg, which I can't find anything about online and would be so grateful to get some background on the school. She did grad school at Catholic.</p>
