As I always ask... Only reply if a teacher has made a positive in pact in your life.
Thank you.

Hmm, probably my 6th grade teacher Sam Rines. He used to play soul and R&B music for us in class, songs I'd never heard before but that I still find myself singing sometimes. I always found them very soothing.
When we got too wound up, instead of yelling at us he would take us down to the gym to play basketball for a while and tire ourselves out. It was a racially mixed school, and I remember him trying to get us to understand each other and to feel good about ourselves as individuals. But he wasn't above "tough love" to let someone know when they were heading down the wrong track. He had high standards for us as students and as people. He told us a lot of cautionary tales of folks "from the neighborhood" who'd gone down the wrong path. In retrospect it seems kind of like Judge Joe Brown (don't tell anyone I watch that).
This was like 1979, and I still remember him.

On the first day of school, my 10th-grade English teacher told our class "You can say anything in this class, so long as you can defend it." I knew his beliefs were very different from mine, so I immediately tested him to see if he was serious: in the first 3 essays he assigned, I deliberately chose a topic or point of view that I knew he would not agree with. (He gave each assignment two letter grades: one for content, and one for form; the grade entered in his book was an average of those two. ) When I got my essays back, graded, they did indeed have what I thought were fair grades. I was amazed that an adult would treat my ideas with respect. It boosted my confidence enormously. I've never forgotten it. I try to be fair in my dealings with other people, even when I disagree with them.

Playing chess during lunch almost every day. It really improved my thinking/planning/stategizing skills. And it was fun! I actually finally beat him, too.
Oh better yet, when we were reading Beowulf and he drew a giant picture of Grendel on the blackboard, and his arm in the rafters.
And even better, when we had a spelling test, and the word was "vacancy". He drew a picture of a guyu with a big empty head and wrote " ACANCY" inside. HAHAHA!

Her name is Julie Kauper.
She just had something about her...
Always smiling, and such a warm, loving, and caring person.
Whenever I hear the song "Hands" by Jewel, it reminds me of her.
She was an amazing teacher, and I miss that about her.

Not the best picture, but you get the idea.

probably my science teacher in year 7. she was great and she filled kids mind with fun things like experiments and cool projects like ice-melting races! we were never bored in her lesson. i guess that the passion i have for science came from her.
