what percentage of the teachers you had were really good, how many sucked?
i was unruly and barely teachable. i was a class clown and drifted from class to class in a high school of nearly five thousand. plus i was a marked man going into all of my schools, because of my older brothers. but there are a handfull of wonderful teachers in there, and some who could barely fog up the mirror.

In hindsight, I had a lot of very good teachers. At the time I thought differently about some of them.
I had three that stand out as poor. Very poor. In a small rural school, I was unlucky enough to have one of them twice. But others were excellent. Particularly my 9th grade civics teacher, my 11th grade English teacher, my 10th and 12th grade Bio teacher, my Econ teacher, my Geometry teacher....my typing teacher, not so much.

I had zero that were poor...really. ALL knew their jobs, knew the curriculim, Knew thier expertise......and adhered to it, and didn't want to hear ANY sob stories...NAZI's I tells ya! (Seriously? They were great life's encounters...I was too young and stoopid to see it at the time, and isn't that the case with MOST of us)?
My favorite teachers were the nicesr and the easiest. In hindsight, they were not the most effective. One of the new proposals floating around about teacher performance is surveying the students. Um. Bad idea.
"Out of all of your teachers that I've met, I never thought any of them were smarter than me.".... My Dad, in my last year of HS.
Only 1 was exceptional. I had a couple that were "good", the rest were doing little more than time.
In the Navy it was a little different, but they were instructors, not teachers. most of them were very good.
All my college teachers lacked something, except for one, she stood head and shoulders above the rest.
Got that right Jake. Last year I remarked that I didn't learn a damn thing my first two years at college because none of my professors spoke English. One of my colleagues said "You went to Rutgers too?" He's about 15 years younger than me but had the same experience. And Rutgers is supposed to be a great school.
