Taught high school many years and loved it. I always referred to each student as Mr. or Ms. and what ever their last names were. I believe that they saw this as a sign of respect from me to them. I showed them that they were going to pass my class no matter what I had to do. The teacher "Apple thing", we'll I came into class one day and there was a crate of apples on my chair, I laughed like crazy and they applauded. Made me feel good. I run into one of them nearly every month usually at the mall with their kids and am introduced as dads Math teacher.

There are 3 teachers that I think about often ,2 of them were kind ,smiling ,amusing listened to us ,laughed with us and at the same time got their point across, The third was quite the opposite and seemed only interested in the kids that came from the wealthy families (unfortunately ) I wasn't one of these . I am aware that pupils and their respect for teachers has changed over the years ,so possibly the first 2 teachers with a little more discipline thrown in , if needed.

a teacher that believes in them, tells them what they can do not what they can't, a teacher that uses any quality that the kids have and turns it in to something positive, even if it seems negative at first. ;] be creative with it. A kid that talks too much? maybe that opens a spot for dialogue with the students. =]

Caring more for the student than renumeration and retirement. Enjoying the discipline of teaching and the reward of seeing young people awaken to new insights and understanding.
The above concept is VERY rare indeed. A legacy of countless lives are formed from those who possess such intellectual wealth and devotion to their profession and students.
