They called me a madman

Bot post, but I'd really like to know: Do you have any stories about especially caring teachers that you'd like to share? Mine: In 7th grade, I came into school feeling a little sick, but I thought I could get through the day. However, as soon as first period started, I felt dizzy and nauseous. I was barely moving/talking. Social Studies was my favorite class, so I was usually much more bubbly. I even fell asleep for a couple of minutes (the teacher obviously saw, I was in his line of view). He didn't say anything, but at the end of the day, he called me to his room and asked me what was wrong... (continued)

Most of the teachers I've had were luckily fantastic! However, there are always a few bad apples... For me this depended heavily on the type of school I attended. Some of the most productive and inspiring teachers I've had, that truly had great connections with their students, were public school teachers. Unfortunately, my private school teachers weren't always that great... I think this was because some teachers eventually became disillusioned with the lack of interest of some students, who eventually would rely on their parents' wealth and completely disregard education (not that all private schools are like this of course - I might have been unlucky). In one of those schools my third grade teacher told me (in front of the class) that I would never amount to anything. I was 8. I guess what I'm trying to say is that: we need good teachers to inspire children - especially when considering that when a bad one puts you down, you never forget it.
