Who is/was your favorite teacher and why?
Favorite Answer
I took so much away from the class. The man was brilliant, and his ideas about reforming the U.S. social system are innovative and wonderful. I have never been so influenced by a teacher to get involved in my community. I have never met a person who was so thoroughly involved in his own community. He was truly passionate about his work, and he taught because he wanted other people to be passionate about it as well. I am so glad I took that class with him, because I became a much more socially aware person than I was before.
The college I attend fairly small, so there aren’t a lot of professors in any one department. It’s just proof that there are little gems everywhere.
i’ve never met another person with half the passion that man had in talking to us nobodies, us seniors who just needed the english cred, us stupid kids. he treated us as enlightened individuals…i took like 7 years of honors english, then ap english and on my senior year, when i took sci-fi as a blow off class did i finally find an english teacher that made me want to write the kind of things that lit a fire in people. he lit a passion in me that and i don’t think i will never be able to find the words to thank him for that…
