The best teacher i've ever had was Mrs. Read in third grade. She was polite, patient, kind, and fun. She made learning a great experience because she'd find ways to engage us in the material we were learning. I remember coming home excited to tell my mom what we had learned that day because of the WAY I learned it more often than not. I still use a lot of the little tips and tricks she taught me when I was learning the FUNdamentals, as she would always say.
The worst teacher I've ever had was Mr. Brown in sixth grade. He was a jerk. I don't know what side of the bed he woke up on everyday but I'm sure he was in desperate need of a new mattress. He was always angry it seemed like and he had a very low patience for anything that didn't go according to plan. I didn't like the way he just stood at the front of the class and just spouted information without trying to actively engage us in what we were learning.
Interesting couple of teachers--good material for your second paper in the making!
