I had quite a few but only a handful I remember as it was yesterday almost 20 years after finishing the school.
1st English teacher: she was awesome. She was relaxed, cool,and even took us to her allotment on a hot spring day and bought ice-cream for all of us.
2nd English teacher: she was self important, a bit arrogant and claimed that her husband's salary is for the family,while hers is for her only:) Despite all of this,she was a really good teacher.
1st math teacher: she could easily run a battalion, wouldn't take any hostages either. Nobody was messing up with her,she was strict but fair and because of my behaviour I had a permanent seat at the front row for a few years:)
2nd math teacher: was strict but also knew how to throw jokes around.
Russian language teacher: nobody was messing up with her,she knew how to have a complete order in a classroom. Didn't learn shit thought because I hated the language.
Lithuanian language teacher: she was a bitch, toxic and spiteful. Nobody has ever liked her.
Religion studies teacher: whilst the subject was a complete nonsense for a young atheist like me, the teacher was super cool and everyone liked her. A friend once showed up completely drunk for the lesson,she didn't even kick him out.
Physics teacher: he used to come to school wearing flipflops, didn't give a shit about much, showed up drunk at some teachers event and was mocking the higher ups behind their backs. He used to give decent grades to those who just didn't want to study and then focused on those who were interested.
3rd English teacher: this guy was from New Jersey as part of the peace corps. Having an American in your class during '90s was quite something and was really interesting to listen how's life on the other side of the pond. The last time I checked he's doing some missions in Africa nowadays.

- frazbin 4y agoYeah that's okay. Some of the job is getting students excited and inspired so they know why they're studying. Admittedly a weak-minded western concept but it does work after its fashion (source: many of my teachers were kind, intelligent professionals who were good at their job)
