    Mrs Hansen, English for grades 8, 9, 10. She was short and lovely and supportive and actually encouraged study. It had been a long time since I had a teacher like that so it really helped me do as well as I did at High School.

    Oddly enough a lot of Mo's points relate, with such a similar last name.

    ms blake, my year 8 and 9 english/study of society teacher. loveliest person on the face of this planet, she was.

    also, mr muchow, my year 10 science teacher and camp group leader dude. he is hilarious, one night decided to put eels in my best friend's and my canoe. we retaliated by stealing and hiding his car keys in my sleeping bag

    My best teacher I think was my Physics teacher. He was always so enthusiastic and most of all supportive. He thought I was really going to make it big in that world, sadly, this has yet to happen.

    My psychology teacher. He taught us in unconventional way, such as showing us videos like The Breakfast Club and clips of Donnie Darko. He had an interesting style - he was really into 1800s fashion, especially their facial hair fashion. So he always dressed like that.

    He was really honest too. He talked to us about his wife's depression. He was really cool and nice.

    I'm gonna do it anyway.

    My 9th grade English teacher, Mrs. Munoz. A 47 year-old woman of awesome. I first entered her class and she was playing Muse loudly and talked the first day about video games. Woman was awesome. When some kids stole my Health book she took it upon herself to totally pwn them personally. Very funny woman.

    My Theatre Arts teacher is just as cool. She offered to go shopping with me because she said I had amazing fashion sense. She said I would be truly great one day, and that I'm very special. She wishes her son would grow up to be like me. She was hilarious too.

    There was a Mr. Stuart who taught math. He was easily my favorite mainly because of his ability to relate the subjects to life situations. I think he did a great job of helping his students to understand what he was explaining. Plus, he had a super sense of humor!

    Honourable mention ought to go to Mr. Choy who used to make use vacuum his classroom whenever we forgot to do our homework... or he just felt like it. Many a lunchtime was wasted when I had him for maths. He was a funny guy though, with a real twisted view on life.

    I was always way ahead of the classes in high school... so my favorite teacher would have to be Mrs. Harvey, who was about the only one who recognized that and didn't assign me random extra crap to do when I finished something two hours before anyone else. I beat Phantom Hourglass in that class.

    Oh yeah, handheld consoles in class were awesome. The GBA SP was made for use in schools. Mr. Hannon (see first post) once caught me playing in history but eased off on the punishment when he realised it was Advance Wars. The animated warfare to history class link was tangible enough for him to keep me back after class - not to punish or scold me, but to ask me whether it was a good game for him to buy for his niece. xD

    That guy sounds incredibly awesome. Wonder if that would work when playing Trauma Center in Sports Medicine...

    Hard call to make. I think I can narrow it down to two or three. In order of them teaching me...

    1. Mr. Kronqvist - He was the neatest quiet teacher I knew. He would make silly jokes in his foreign accent once in a while but for the most part was pretty humble. Everyone loved him anyway because of his accent and because he didn't ever get angry, just joked along and reminded people to get back to work. He got respect because he never was angry, ever. And he gave me a merit award for giving him cookies when I bought a pack of biscuits to school and gave him a few. "I'll let you keep eating if you give me some!" Ahaha, what a guy. It was amusing bringing that merit award in to my home room teacher. Oh, and he taught Geography, in case you were wondering.

    2. Ms. Leigh, later Mrs. Wright, aka Mrs. Wrong - The amount of banter I had with this teacher was immense, and it was fun because we both had turns at winning. I think she taught me Geography for two or three different years overall. I found her really awesome. Unlike Mr. Kronqvist, she was prone to the odd bout of anger and stress, but she was far more talkative than he was and we had a lot of fun taking the piss out of each other for a good few years. A teacher I wouldn't mind catching up with someday purely because you know she's always good for a chat.

    3. Ms. Holloway (I think that was her name) - A teacher that a lot of people hand banter with but for the most part I didn't dare - she was scathing and lightning quick with her wit and insults. Brilliant because of this. And Australian to boot, which made our Physics class even more amusing (we had people from Germany, England, South Africa, NZ, various Polynesian Islands, China, Cambodia, and others). I've never heard so many tongue-in-cheek racist jokes made in one class, but it was great because it was a small class and everyone did it to each other and didn't mind. And she would never lose in a battle of wits, always with a quality comeback that would result in a load of laughter from the rest of the class... taking her on was basically asking to be embarrassed. Although every now and then she would resort to chasing Hamish around the class with a meter ruler as he yelled "No miss! Miss! Leave me alone! AAAARGH! It's coz I's black, ain't it?" (he's not, for what it's worth).
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    The best high school teacher I had was my math/physics teacher, Kurt; he was so good at teaching and explaning, and so passionate about maths and physics, that I ended up loving physics and maths even more than I already did. He was always so helpful and I always looked forward to his classes. Always. Also, he's such a smart person he was known as Delta Kurt.

    AAAAAAAAAAND, we share the same birthday! Every year on the 11th of December we'd wish eachother a happy birthday. He was so awesome~

    Note: That's my fav HS teacher though, not my all time fav teacher.

    In grade 11 we got a new computer teacher - Ms Greco, who eventually got married but kept her teaching name for professional purposes. Ms Greco was hopelessly undertrained for what she had to teach, but she made up for it by being 5'0 and very attractive. So much so that she usurped the economics teacher as hottest [female] teacher of the school.

    Now that I'm thinking of high school teachers I think my school was taught by a bunch of showboating exhibitionists. My grade 9 english teacher constantly teased the class with flashes up her skirt when she crossed her legs, for example.

    I blame the teacher, not myself for noticing. Yes.

    mr. cato was my math teacher for four years. He was cranky and made us apply ourselves as much as any high school teacher could. He suffered under restrictive state guidelines, and had a wonderful façade of a grumpy child-hater.
