Mrs Evans was my Senior English teacher. She was funny and tough and inspirational. She set her expectations of us high, and in trying to reach them we accomplished far more than we ordinarily would have.

I buy that.  I teach myself and it is very funny to watch when we have all district meetings.  Each grade teacher behaves the way that their students would.  High school people are very serious and business like.  Elementary school teachers are serious but more touchy feely.  Middle school teachers (like me) screw around and throw things and get off task.

The University of Arizona's outfielders (Champion, Lowe, Acton), LSU's pitcher Turner, and Texas' catcher Willis are hot. \n\nMy favorite would be Caitlin Lowe because she has it all: great slapper with the ability to swing away for power, mind blowing speed, reads the defense very well, very strong defensively and gives it her all ever single game.  Her attempt to make the catch during the Tennessee game in the WCWS was absolutely amazing.  Definitely my favorite.

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.

I recall that recess was my favorite subject when I was in school.  I don't think as many schools offer that subject anymore.  My favorite subject now is math.

Well I won't put their names on here, but my band directors in High School had a major influence on me.  Because I had always been passionate about music, they instilled in me a desire to become a better student and an even better person.  I don't think I would be where I am today without these very special people.\nBecause of them I chose to become a band director.  I wanted to give back to students what they gave to me: a sense of pride, self-esteem, and that I really can achieve great things if I put my mind to it.  \nAnd of course, they were goofy as all get out, and that's what I love about the profession.  I am not a normal classroom teacher and get the chance to make music fun and exciting.  (At least I hope the kids think I do!)  \nAnyways, all that to say, I have a big place in my heart for teachers.  I can definitely say I really love what I do.

I'll choose Mr. Narumi.\n\nFirst and foremost he's funny, idot, kinda gay but not,\n\nintelligent and very kind.\n\nHe's the greatest teacher in the Alice Academy coz'\n\nMr. Jinno is too cruel, Mr. Noda-chi is too idiot.

I'm an Oaklawn boy, so as personal favorites, I've got to go with Smarty Jones, Pat Day, Cole Norman, and Roy "Chappie" Chapman.  \n\nI have to admit I had Smarty-mania a couple of years ago.

Claire.  It was always fun and interesting to see what phase she was going to go through next and what she was going to get into next.  Seems she was always getting herself in trouble.  I also loved her attitude, her sarcasm and her sick sense of humor.\n\nOf course, it's hard to pick just one... I loved them all... and I literally sat crying my eyes out when Nate died.

Green is mine.  In junior high I had a huge crush on She-Hulk.

I am a teacher, I have taught in a regular education classroom as well as special need classroom.  I don't think teachers intentionally have favorite students.  I do tell my students that if they say "yes" to me, I will in turn say "yes" to them.\nFor example, if i have student who works in class and finishes the work, makes corrections as necessary, that child will get more priviledges (free time, computer time, library time, treats, etc) than the student who is not working in class.\n\nYou are not going to want to read this, but maybe you should not just blame the teacher for having favorites, but look at the bigger picture.  Are there things that one student is doing (so called favorite?) that the other is not?\n\nI asked my students one day to write down the name of my favorite student and give me three reasons why they felt that way.  (Ok, now I am bragging)  Most of the students wrote down their own name!!  Nope, no favorites here, I love them all, and somehow they realize it.  The students that wrote someone else's name gave the reasons that they had more priviledges. Generally it was the students who had recently got in trouble in class.  Go figure.

Because teachers are human beings and they don't always do the right thing. Teachers will have favorites, but a good teacher doesn't reveal who his/her favorite is.

There were so many throughout my schoolife its hard to choose. I'd have to say though that without a doubt it was US history and World History in High School.  It wasnt so much the subject matter as it was the teacher.  You know what I mean....i'm sure you've had a small handful of teachers who really made a difference in your life.\n\nIn my US History class my teacher would make us reinact scenes from history using props and putting on plays. He also would come in dressed appropriately with the timeframe we were studying (like dressing like a mountain man when we were studying the frontier period). He even made out different versions of the same test for students to choose (like essay form for people good with words and True/False n multiple choice for people who liked that form of testing).\n\nMy world history teacher was friggin hilarious. He would sit and tell stories about his childhood growing up in the area and all his messed up practical jokes he played on people. He was the kinda guy who was always willing to listen and help any way he could. Super funny and nice guy....

I had some great teachers when I was in elementary-h.s. and the best ones influenced me to go on and be a teacher myself. What I learned from them, I applied in my classroom. What I learned from the not so good teachers (thank goodness those were very few) I remembered never to do in my class.\n\nI went back and thanked my high school teachers who had an impact on me. I told them that they had such an impact, it influenced my future to become a teacher. It is one of the best things you can do for someone who did something positive in your life...reward them by telling them that.
