What are the things you remember most about your teachers?
Is it their caring attitude?
Is it the attention you get?
It can be the lessons you learned.
Or the motivations you received.
Teachers are hard to forget.
They are the students' second parents.
They teach with a heart.
They accept every student with open arms.
Do you still remember your teachers?
How did they made you as a person?
Do you consider them influential?
Or someone who made you feel important?

I can't forget my old English teacher in the honor section in college. She was an old-fashioned lady who disliked girls wearing their skirts above the knee. She was the best among 3 good teachers in English in college but I admired her humility. One time, we argued about the sentence sequence and coherence in a paragraph. I was alone in arguing with her with one classmate supporting me. The rest were with her. After 3 days of argument, she finally told the class that I was right and my classmates roared and clapped. She told us that it was not a matter of who won but of knowing what really was right. That incident made me admire her more.

@magallon That was nice of you not to feel slighted by the correction made by your student and it was nice of him too to make the correction discreetly. I really admire teachers who know how to accept it when they commit mistakes.

@sunrisefan Teachers should also admit their mistakes.
I always tell my students to read and have further readings of the lesson because not all that are taught by teachers are correct.

Oh, that's nice.
Your story made me remember something.
I was also discussing something in my psychology class when one of my students called me and asked me politely to go with him to the library next room. He said for few minutes only.
The reason was he ,wants to show me the correct pronunciation of a certain word.;; We looked for it in the dictionary and he was really correct. So when we returned to the class, I corrected the pronunciation and admitted that I pronounced it incorrectly.

I think that my teachers in English were the persons that became very influential for me. I have been attracted to them and they were the only kind of teachers whom I think are very caring when it comes to what I was feeling. I just had female English teachers and they were all like my second mothers.

I have two teachers I want to talk about here. My Math teacher made sure I got the math award. He encouraged me, and we became friends and hung out together in my older years. He was a very kind person. My English teacher taught us about words and what they meant by having us write sentences with them. She cared about us wanting to learn. It is hard to have teachers that care.

I'll never forget my middle school English teacher, Mrs. N.
The first time I met her was 6th grade. I was in a new school and completely lost. I was trying to find my home room and asked Mrs. N, who was standing in the hall, where the room was.
"Turn around and keep walking. When you can't find it, cry." she said.
Needless to say, I found someone else to help me, only to find that Mrs. N was the teacher for MY home room class!
She was also my English teacher.
I grew to love her, despite that mean beginning.
She was strict but could be led off-topic if we asked about her traveling adventures.
Whenever we asked how old she was, she'd tell us, "I'm 112" or "201".
She told me I wrote well and that if I ever got a book published, I had to dedicate it to her. I promised I would.
Now if I can just write a book...!
She was my all-time favorite teacher.
My worst teacher was Mrs. G. She was also an English teacher. She let the kids in class do whatever they wanted. Since we were on the second floor, students would often "accidentally" drop their pencils out the open window and then ask to go fetch them. And,of course, Mrs. G would let them.
I had no respect for that woman.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your story.
The favorite and the not favorite are actually those that we never forget.
Its the same with the teachers too. They could not forget those students who are the most active and the least active.
Or those who are the most quiet and the noisiest.
