During my high school, my teachers were always so gentle and cared for us that they gave us piles and piles of homework and everything given in a silver platter so to speak. Now in college, my professors don't care what we do and barely even memorize our names and give us quizzes which god knows where he got it.
I seem to have been spoiled in high school that it was only now in my later years of college that I appreciate college professors more :)

College professors for me were much more difficult because the workload and attitude is far more serious. I think high school teachers can be far more laid back than professors in college/university but their paycheck reflects that. If I personally had to choose? I'd choose to be a high school teacher as long as the pay was enough to get by.

I had some nice high school teachers, and I liked many of them, but I still enjoyed collage more than high school. In high school the teachers told us what to study, they told us when we had to finish our homemork and they planned things for us, in college I was able to plan everyone on my own and I enjoyed having that kind of freedom. In high school I got in trouble if I missed too any classes, in college the professors didn't care if we showed up or not, and I like to be responsible for my own studies.

high school teachers care for the students in their class ,while college professors focus on the lessones in their hand .the students are both stressful in high school where the teachers cogitate their psychological state and give them advice for overcoming psychological barriers .college professors think a lot of quality lectures and marketing .they are just teachers ,because of learning between teachers and students effect emotions and they become friends .so I prefer my high school teachers .

I prefer to college professors. In high school teachers gave us a lot of homework to do and often test us which make us nervous,also parents repeat:"must study hard otherwise you cannot go to good college......etc." In college professors donot have too much work to us and teach us in class relax and happy, so we can decide what we like to do, as finding part-time job after class.

College professors are the best for me because its very funny to communicate with matured person and also its happy to become a professors. but high school teachers is bored because all of the students are teenagers and its very complicated to manage that.

College professors are much more laid back in that they let more up to you. College professors make it more about learning whereas high school was kinda just rote memorization.

High School teacher are best because they only shape you in early stages and also make you learn the basics. But college lecture uses the basic taught by High school teachers so to me high school teachers are best.

My college professors are more good and friendly than my higschool teachers because they are strict and I think that they hate all the students. My college professors are also strict but they are friendly and they approached us in a good manners. Until now, my college professors are still my friends.

My high school teachers were horrible. They made us carry heavy books. Thos who did not were given detention. And then every friday all of them wanted to give us quiz or test. So it was an ending war with homeword and studies. I think college is much easier. First of all, here I get to decide my own schedule and then go to class without the fear of having homework each day. College professors are definitely the best. They hardly care about us.

I feel the same way when I was in my high school days, everything is there and its all spoon feeding its up to you to memorize it.
When I went to my college at first I have a culture shock about the college days. But I easily adopt the environment. I easily cope up being so dependent to become independent. Seems that we are in our hands on how we can learn in this subject. So I keep on digging information for me to learn and gain more knowledge. Just lucky that books are always there to give me those information. Take note we still dont have internet at that time, so I used more on scanning books from pages to pages.
Its not easy and its really difficult but that's their training in our school.

High school life they say is very memorable that's include your relationship with your teachers. I have teachers in high school that supported me finacially so I can comply with my assignments and projects. My college professors also were so friendly that even in the classroom our conversation were just casual. We'll that's my story, I don't know to anyone out there... I love my high school teachers as well as my College professors.

As for me, I prefer college professors because most of them taught us on how to live on our own.Maybe they look like they don't really care about us, but during teaching process or even after academic hours, most of them still tend to help students by sacrificing most of their time, in which , such values are always missing from high school teachers.
