Your best ever teacher?

[Astrid]

Mr Knight from grade 6. My first ever male teacher and had just changed schools from the "good" school to the "poor" school.

It was the first time I was told I was smart. I never knew before, the other teachers had their favourites, being from one of the two single parent families in the school meant I could never be favored. I never knew that 99% in a maths test was brilliant, I was always made to feel like it was not good enough that I was never good enough.

Mr Knight changed that. I finally saw what I could do. He encouraged me, he taught me to play cheese in the lunch break. We would have races in the maths test. He would do the test at the same time as us and we tried to see which one of us could finish before him.

Oh and he had an awesome beard.

Rumour has it that the principal left her husband for him

That gave me goose bumps Marydean. How fantastic that you recconnected in an extrodinary way.

Mr Randall, my year 7-8 science teacher. Just one of those teachers that held you the whole lesson and he never made you feel like you were in a class.

Worst teacher was Mr Butler, PE teacher, he made you lazy by always just following him around starring at his lovely beehind

Been thinking about this all morning, it is such a tough choice because there were so many!

In my senior years I had a maths teacher and she could always tell when something was up. It really helped turn anything around just for someone to notice you enough, to know you enough to tell things weren't right and show concern and care. And she was a maths wizz which is always impressive to me! She was just lovely and glamorous and brilliant.
