None. Most were obstacles not inspirational. I forgive them though, they are just people.

Yea, for me too and I wasn't a journalist nor its academic member. Was not warm but a great teacher. Inspirational and taught me how to get the best out of myself.

Mr. Schmidt my honors English teacher my senior year. He had very high expectations of us and really pushed us. He is one of the only teachers I really remember.

Mr. Ron Bombick at BCC. Chair of the science department for awhile. Treated his students like smart adults. Assigned interesting books for reading and discussion in addition to normal biology class -- Beautiful Swimmers and The Mismeasure of Man -- suggested NIH lectures to attend outside of class, etc. Questions always allowed and not poked fun at. Positive, optimistic personality who found a way to rule the classroom without using constant crankiness, fear, or making the students walk on eggshells. In fact, I heard after I graduated that as head of the department he took on just one such science teacher (who ruled by fear and put-downs and drove a lot of interested, capable kids away from science). I liked him so much I went on to talk a full year Anatomy and Physiology cat-dissection class with him in HS instead of taking the normal Physics class. Although I didn't go on to a career in medicine, he stoked a permanent interest in human biology that has served me well both professionally and personally.

Ditto. Can think of plenty of incompetent teachers.

None of them really inspired me. I remember, literally, all of them. (I'm 38 if it matters, so it's not like I'm 19 and this was just 2 years ago.)

Some stand out for good reasons and some stand out for bad reasons. Some were just bleh. But none really inspired me in any way.

My AP Honors A&P in High School was wonderful. I had a really fun teacher in 3rd grade and a 7th grade Science teacher that blew my mind away with crazy-ass stories.

Otherwise the rest were average at best. Not sure a good ratio, huh?

Mr. Ferry and Wren Abramo. Both were so creative, caring, and inspirational.

I still remember my 8th grade English teacher. She was so inspirational.
