I think there’s teachers like that in every subject.

I had an admin teacher that was so funny and amazing that it actually made admin fun. Yet I took media studies and found it boring because of the teacher

Aw he’s brilliant. We still catch up from time to time, he’s just one of those teachers. He taught my husband too when he was at school, he liked him as well. A good teacher, but fun.

But when I was younger (he taught me from age 14-17) I thought he was terrifying! But as you got older and showed more respect, so did he

Honestly I couldn’t give him enough praise. He came to our wedding and was one of the first to know I was pregnant! I work with children now and they will (mostly) all attend the high school I went too. I always ask for their timetable when they’re going up, to see if they have him. Then warn him

Some teachers leave fond memories had a male teacher in Primary School one of the younger teachers, even had dinner at his home and met his wife (all above board) He has lengendary status in my history.

We had a R.E teacher a female feared by all you didn't want to be on the receiving end of that raised voice. She was a decent person not a bully, but that voice. One day the class was playing up and she broke down in tears, suddenly she was human and that aura of fear was broken. Many years of aura!

Not to take away from his selfless act, but sports teachers don't have planning and marking to do so they have free time to give up.

I went to Boarding School, we had plenty of laughs taking the piss out of certain teachers. One day we had a Geography lesson and we all (about 12 of us) went and hid in the library. When Mr Blake eventually found us, we walked back into the classroom and walked over an imaginary 2 foot tall wall, he was totally dumbfounded, but saw the funny side of it

My geography teacher was a complete wanker.

However my P.E. taught geography now and again and sometimes he stood in for the art teacher. He was actually an ok bloke.

Considering geography is the shitest subject on earth, anyone that can spend there life teaching such turgid bollocks deserve a certain amount of respect. Even if they are a bit of a toss pot.

Had an RE teacher who kept show dogs, 2 minutes into the lesson someone would pipe up "how'd you get on with the dogs at the weekend sir?" bingo, hour and ten minutes later he'd finish regaling us with how he and the dog were cheated out of first place then Bing Bong the pips went.

Coolest teacher I ever had was my GCSE Eng. Lit. teacher. He looked like a cross between Roger Daltrey of The Who and Jimmy Nail. He always wore hideous grey slip-on shoes and cemented his status as a true legend by turning up to work with a black eye twice in a year.

Honorable mentions also go to my French and Italian teachers who made me a polyglot, and later on, my driving instructor who hated cars and preferred canoes and cycling but managed to make me a way better driver than your average BSM 'teach you to pass a test' guys.

My memory of Geography class is some discussion about rocks, a few maps and boredom. The reason I thought it should have been interesting is it involved talking about the world...and wassn't the world meant to be an interesting place?

I worked in a secondary school for 7/8 years and my hatred of Science turned into a love of it; purely because of the teachers.

I also found History to be interesting, because the teachers were animated and enthusiastic; unlike my 3rd year History teacher who could send a rabid dog to sleep with his droning voice.

Now that is the closest to my experience I enjoyed the human side..but the rock formations, (minerals?) etc lost me it felt to scientifical and dry. It was like hot and cold humanity to objects like two different subjects in one.

"Teacher's these days have NO control over what is on the curriculum and very little control on how they teach it.

Geography is an amazing subject. I vaguely remember looking at maps a few times during Geography can you help connect the dots?

Everything has a geographical connection from water resources, climatic change and the economy and trade... Be lost without it

"
Interesting!

"Hated our maths teacher... Someone would write out a song or nursery rhythm and rip it up... Every one in the class would have a word or line and we would sing it at him... Nothing he could do... Fou d out years later is now in prison... So he got the punishment from you guys before he did the crime?"

Absolutely... Has not a nice guy.

My firm tutor was ace... She stopped the head kicking me out after a fight.

There are always those teachers that you connected with. Just human nature, each to thier own

By your first description I had a sense that your maths teacher may not have been the nicest guy..but didn't want to bury him as I don't know him but you do. Nice story about the tutor who fought in your corner to keep you in school!

"I had a geography teacher who made what should have been a interesting subject as boring as hell. He was an older gentlemen with a little moustache a throwback from when TV was black and White.

Those who teach, teach. Those who can't teach, teach Geography.

My geography teacher was a complete wanker.

However my P.E. taught geography now and again and sometimes he stood in for the art teacher. He was actually an ok bloke.

Considering geography is the shitest subject on earth, anyone that can spend there life teaching such turgid bollocks deserve a certain amount of respect. Even if they are a bit of a toss pot.I'm going to try to find out the geography curriculum for the relevant years, see if I was looking through rose tints.

8 years ago it was rocks, precipitation, erosion, volcanoes in year 7"

We just drew topographical maps. I can't remember much else.

My maths teacher was Mrs Fellows. Not only did I have her for Maths I also had her for Geography for a couple of years

She was a witch and I hope she's dead.
