Teachers....which ones do you remember, and is there one that really sticks in your memory? We often hear interviews by various great people who regularly refer back to some memorable or influential teacher whose instruction and inspiration helped them in life. Looking back to school, does any teacher stand out, and if so, why? (For good, and for bad.)

Yes, I had a lovely male primary school teacher, who was really a maths teacher, and who saw something in me that no other teacher did because I was shy and awkward. I still think about him often.

A few spring to mind. Primary School teachers I don't remember well. My year eight (second year) maths teacher stands out, as does my GCSE/A-level physics teacher.

The first one I mention because honestly, my year seven maths teachers were both awful and nearly made me hate the thing altogether; she rekindled my love for it by, among other things, noticing that I was bored stiff with the year eight stuff so giving me next year's textbooks to look at instead.

2 of my English teachers and a Maths teacher for good reasons.

The German teacher loathed me so I upset her and passed my 'o' level.

My middle school form teacher. He was an English teacher but also took our RS and History lessons.

He was lovely, so encouraging.

I'm friends with him on facebook but can't bring myself to use his first name. I always call him Sir or Mr Williams :-)

He was my hero. A true character who made medicine a living subject and hated academics (clever ***) he would call them.
He would have abhorred the Internet and particularly...."links. "
One day as we were waiting in the ward for a ward round,his registrar arrived and said Dr Hunter is waiting for you in the Whitechapel Road. We all filled out of the hospital where we followed Dr H down the crowded street to a manhole cover. He banged on the cover with his foot, the cover lifted and a head appeared and said " Oh! it's you Dr Hunter, have you got the students with you? We all climbed down the ladder into the drains of the East End and had our lecture on Weill's disease, a disease spread by rats urinating in water which passes on the organism. Never ever forgot that or him.
He should have been knighted.
Many other stories, but that is enough for him at the moment.

As a group, we all looked forward to our twice weekly Religious Instruction lessons as our RI Master was an avid Clarets fan. All we had to do was mention their last/next game and we would spend the entire lesson discussing Burnley Football Club - God, Jesus and the totally unlikely virgin birth totally ignored. I surprised myself some years later by gaining a CSE in RI.

I'd like to thank Mr Brown for getting me through my discalcula and heping me pass my O level maffs.

I'd like to thank Mr Taylor for being humorous and kind, and sitting next to me and squeezing my knee occasionally.

I'd like to thanks Mr Hill for being an inspirational Art teacher and putting me in charge of the third years and allowing me to scare the bejeesus out of them

And finally and most importantly, I'd like to thank my deputy headmistress, Vanda, for letting me feel her susi belt through her skirt at the end of term (I was 18 at the time).
