Graduating! I hated high school because I had to move after my sophmore year from Maryland to Atlanta, GA. I didn't like the atmosophere at the school and I was definitely an outsider. I was so uncomfortable that during my Junior and Senior years, I didn't step one foot inside the cafeteria to eat lunch...not one time. I just stood in the hall until lunch was over.

well I just know that in one class I used to have..when I was youngish...my teacher would let us all scoot our desks into a circle and we would sit on them and do a spelling bee or toss a ball around and we'd have to say a fact about some subject we were studying.....I thought it was really fun

I would have to say my kindergarten teacher.  I was afraid of her because she was never very approachable.  Everyone was scared of her, she would yell at us (a class of 5 year olds).  My brother told me that if you said a bad word, she would clean your mouth out with soap.  I wasn't sure back then exactly what words were the bad ones so I decided not to talk to her.  She never really made the effort to talk to me either.  I don't ever remember her talking to me.  One time I needed to go to the bathroom and I asked a friend to ask her for me.  She said, If she needs to go, she needs to come and ask.  I went up to her but I didn't say a word, I was afraid she would clean my mouth.  She just said, go before you have an accident. Worse of all she called me by my full name and not my nickname. That doesnt sound bad but what made it worse was that there was another girl in the class that had the same name as me and she did call the other girl by the nickname and not me)  I always thought she didn't like me. She didn't seem like a caring teacher for kindergarten students.

<<SWITCH TO: AS MY 7th and 8th...Dr. Durst>>Dr. Durst, both my seventh and eighth grade english teacher, is, in my opinion <<WE KNOW IT'S YOUR OPINION>>, a hero in my life because he volunteers his time to teach my class what we need to know to succeed in high school and college. He also has a great personality,<INSERT PERIOD>> I don't know anyone who knows him and doesn't like him. He genuinely cares for his students. Additionally, he has written multiple books, a feat I'd admire anyone for. However, the biggest <<BIGGEST =POOR WORD CHOICE >>example that shows why he is a hero in my opinion <<WE KNOW IT'S YOUR OPINION>> is that he helped me realize that it is possible to enjoy writing <<YOU MEAN HE HELPED YOU ENJOY WRITING?>>\n\n\nGoing into seventh grade I hated writing, << insert: "for" here and get rid of the comma>>it was my least favorite part of school. I hated the thought of having to write an essay a <<each month>> month, but over the course of the school year, through <<change to: As a result of Dr. Durst's>> Dr. Durst's teaching, I learned how to do it, and <how to> do it well. I also lost <<lost = poor word choice>> most of my fear of letting other people read my writing because he never says anything mean about it, or anyone else's, he just tells you how you did well and where you can improve <RUN ON SENTENCE>. I gained <<change to: acquired a>>greater insight on <<into what...>>what writing is too; I learned that it is a way to communicate ideas, and therefore quite important. So, because <<so and because mean same thing>> of Dr. Durst's skillful teaching, I started to actually like writing things. To tell you the truth I am secretly happy whenever he assigns essays because writing had <<has become>>become a fun way to express myself. Thanks to Dr. Durst's wonderful instruction, <<comma not necessary>>I have learned how to unlock and enjoy the delightful feeling of being able to write something and be proud of it. I believe that if I had had a different teacher I would still despise writing to this day <<no need for "still" AND "to this day">>, so I regard Dr. Durst as a hero.\n\n\nThere are a few ways in which I want to be like Dr. Durst, although I want to be myself, exactly like no one else.<<Change to: "while i want to be myself, there are a few ways in which I want to be like Durst">> Dr. Durst is an author and I would like to be a journalist in the future, <Insert period>>since I now love writing, why not pursue a career which involves a lot of it? I also would like to show people that writing isn't as terrible a torture as they think and inspire them to enjoy writing. I want to have a likeable personality like him, too.<<Is this even relevant to your point???>> And <<awkward to start  sentence with "and" here>>, well, I would be flattered to be someone else's hero someday.

my 30th class reunion was most memorable...the "nerd" of our class turned out to be a very cosmopolitan new york attorney and was so much fun...he never danced during our school years, but at the reunion he danced all night and sponsored a cocktail party in his suite...

I'm not a teacher but I've got a few as a student.  Once, when I was in 7th grade, my english teacher Mrs. Salisbury (If you see this email me!! haha) Was teaching us about Huckelberry Finn.  And after reading I think it was the section where he tricks the other kids in to paying him to let them whitewash the fence, she stood up in front of the class (And mind you, she was a very prim and proper woman.) and says "Alrignt, now how did F*ck Hinn ...." and naturally stopped there as the entire class went into hysterics.  I don't think we got much accomplished after that for the rest of the day lol\n-Duo

Pedro was my drama teacher. The first class I took with him, I was scared of him. I was a really shy girl, I didn't have many friends and I never participated in school stuff. I was just scared. But that class in 8th grade helped me deal with so much, I changed. I took 4 more classes with him after that first one. I discoverd I coud talk and speak my mind, I learnd how not to let myself get pushed around, and I discoverd so much more in school than grades. In my senior year I was in 5 clubs including drama, student council, SADD, Oratory and National Art Honor Society. Now I'm in the bes university in all latin america and I'm studing comunications! Thanks to that teacher I discoverd my voice and that it can be heard if I let it.

Mrs. Ricca, my 6th grade teacher back in the 1960s.  I wish I knew where she was so I could tell her this!  She showed me what I could do and helped me to build my self-confidence.

The best teacher is the one who find the way to teach everyone on the best way, easily and making things to look interesting and fun. The teacher who can make everyone to open their mind and look forward about what they supply like information and who can make their lessons to look also useful for the students life.

When I look back on the teachers with whom I've had the most positive relationships, I realize that it had a lot to do with their belief in my abilities and their tendency not to overly exert the supposed 'imbalance' of authority in our relationship.\n\nIn order for a teacher to have a meaningful relationship with his students, he needs to extend his role from merely educational *instructor* to that of parent and friend. While it is necessary to have a strong personality that is capable of handling or preventing destructive moments of indiscipline, I think it is also necessary to communicate to students that they are special, important and capable of achieving their goals. It is essential that they receive a sense of confidence in their abilities, since this is an important determinant of how well they will eventually perform in the class and---possibly---their future.
