I am blessed to say that any of my teachers from pre-k to 6th grade were amazing teachers, and deserve the title of my favorite teacher. They really cared about me and wanted me to do well. They always listened to my stories and laughed at my jokes. They were also very personal they always told their own strories about their lives that made us laugh and get to know them more.

My favorite thing about school was art class! I liked the break from the lessons and homework and I appreciated the ability to learn through creativity. I also loved my art teacher and she helped make my entire school experience amazing through her class.

My favorite TV show teacher is Gregory Eddie in Abbott Elementary. While initially, he had no intention of becoming a full time teacher, Mr.Eddie proved to be effective by getting involved with student interests (specifically the gardening club.)

My favorite TV show teacher was the magic school bus teacher, Ms. Frizzle! She was obviously just so awesome. Because of her, her students were able to experience her lessons in ways that are unforgettable. She allowed the students to grasp the information in ways that might not be possible but that are more than effective.

My third grade teacher, Mrs.Glasier taught me a lot of valuable life applications. She taught me how to write a letter and emails, how to give a proper handshake (looking in someone's eyes and all), and how to write in cursive. We are still penpals to this day, even though she lives far away.

My parents were both supportive and they've always said id be an amazing teacher, but my dads sister and mom were both teachers and he understands the mistreatment and underpayment of teachers so that was a piece of discussion as well because my dad wanted me to be aware of it.

On the first day of kindergarten I said that I was most looking forward to homework in school...a lot changed since then. My favorite thing about school was the fact that there was a routine, and I also always loved lunch because I love to talk and eat.

My favorite teacher was one that I actually did not like at times. She was very forward with me and was always pushing me to do better at things. I remember her always singing in class and I thought it was funny.

My favorite teacher was my ninth grade teacher, and she was the nicest most empathetic person I have ever met; once I came to her very upset and crying once and while comforting me she herself started crying.

My favorite teacher Mrs. Moore went to 4-5 teacher conferences throughout my 4th grade year. She came back better every time with more ideas, chants, and engagement strategies, but my favorite idea was the class stage. We were the first class that got to sign the stage and use it for presentations/projects.

The most common reaction out of all my friends was always “You would make such a great elementary school teacher”, or “I could so see that” literally every time. They were always so supportive of the idea of it. They were not surprised at all.

My favorite movie teacher is Coach Jones from Radio because of how much he does for Radio. This is kind of how I'd like to be when it comes to making my students' days a bit easier.

My favorite "movie" teacher is from the movie, "Matilda". Ms.Honey, Matilda's teacher, was displayed as a kind hearted person who loved each of her students for who they were. She always supported her students and encouraged them to be themselves even when the world, or Ms.Trunchbull, told them otherwise.

My least favorite teacher was my AP US History teacher who was fired. He was already controversial to begin with, so it was honestly probably the best outcome for everyone.

My fourth grade teacher hated me and was so mean to me all year long because i was being bullied by a group of girls who made a club about me called the "antireedingclub" (my last name is reed) and the ringleaders of the group were another teachers daughters. So my teacher never defended me or took my side or got me any help because it was her coworkers kids bullying me, so i ended up transferring.

I loved Ms. Honey from Matilda. She was a huge part in the kids lives (especially Matildas) not just inside the classroom. I hope one day I'm part of my students life in this way too.

My favorite movie or tv show teacher is Miss Honey from Roald Dahl's Matilda. To most people my age, she was a teacher us students would always dream about having. Her caring nature, creative classroom, and kindness to all students is why she is my favorite movie/tv show teacher.

1. My favorite teacher was my 6th grade math teacher Mr. Smothers. I have always hated math and 6th grade was the only year my math was higher than my ELA final grade. He was never judgmental when we had any questions and always took the time to break down every step even if only one person was struggling.

My friends absolutely loved the idea of me becoming a teacher. Throughout school, especially high school, they saw how close I had become with teachers. Since I was always viewed as the "mom friend," they thought something like teaching would be the perfect profession for me.

The teaching profession is a lot more stigmatized among adults than adolescents with many adults thinking that deciding to teach is not a great idea because of the pay. Many adults discouraged me, but my friends really supported me and said that I would make a great teacher.

Almost every time I tell a friend that I am going into education, they say "Awww." I am so used to it now, but I don't know what to think about that response sometimes.

My parents knew I had a passion for teaching but I don't think they thought I would actually pursue it. They know the rough roads teachers have to go down from dealing with so many factors in a classroom to the potential low pay and I don't think they saw how much I loved being a part of it.

Chloe Bea Bradley- She didn't listen to the students. My brother had her the same year I did. He took everything out of his bag to look for a missing paper and she didn't believe him. When she asked to search his bag he said no and got sent to the office and a call home.

My parents were very disappointed when I told them I wanted to teach. My dad told me I was wasting my intelligence. They tried to get me to become an occupational therapist instead. We argued over this for months and they finally stopped right before I got into this program. They realized the argument was worthless.

Stand and Deliver is a film based on Jaime Escalante. He was an AP math teacher in East L.A. I learned how to multiply by 9s because of this movie.
