Memorable Teachers

Throughout your years, most have you have come across teachers, many teachers.  Some you loved and some you hated, so that made you laugh and some that sent you to the office over and over again.  No matter how much you grow some of those teachers are forever drilled in your mind. you can not get their face out of your head but somehow after hours of studying you forgot everything for your history quiz.   They say that first impressions are important.  Discuss a teach you have had, either positive of negative and what impression they set for you then, and in the future.

Grade 6 - Mr. Cow_ _ _
This is one teacher that left a negative impression on me, so much that as a teacher I even refuse to teach grade 6.  I am sure it was a combination of many things: move to a new house, new school, new friends, first male teacher, braces :(    I just can not think of a positive memory of this man.  He used to use the really large legal paper, and would photo copy dictionary pages for detention, and you had to copy out the ENTIRE page.  I am talking about 200 words a page with definitions, prefixes, suffixes, the works!!!! Most of them I was not even able to pronounce in grade 6.  I remember going to the principals office all the time that year, talking, homework, breathing, who knows but I truly felt that this man had it out for me!  I remember for art we were to make a collage of our favourite things.  I had this poster of a tiger cub that I used as my background and cut out tiny pictures of my favourite things and replaced the shape of the cub with my items.  I LOVED this art work, It was huge and colorful and it really represented me.....it was the last day of school LAST DAY!  All week we were moving our classroom from one end of the school to another and I must have asked him for this collage back 3, 4, 5 thousand times! He eventually yelled at me and told me I never handed it in!  As I am writing this I am getting angry.  I still wonder if he really lost it and didn't want to admit it, or if he threw it away!
