> The best teachers don't teach much really. Rather they inspire. The worst teachers may teach a lot, but they make you despise the material. Going to my 11th grade Biology class every day, I used to joke with a couple friends "Do you think we'll be learning today?", "Ha ha, Probably not." The class was fun, not very serious, with the bulk of the period spent listening to our teacher tell stories. All that and the homework was always easy. But at the end of the year, while studying for the final, we realized that we had learned a huge amount of biology. Our teacher had spent the classes telling us stories that related to the material, and the homework was easy because she inspired us to be interested in the questions being asked. I didn't remember toiling over the Krebs[1] and Calvin[2] cycles, but I certainly knew them. More importantly though, I found them interesting.
