Comment The best teacher I've ever had... (Score 1) 240
...was my 12th-13th grade physics teacher. He really managed to get all of us excited about physics. We kept pondering all sorts of weird ideas, discussing things like photons rotating around each other and stuff like that. This sort of thing really gives you an idea about all those numbers and relations you're learning about. One day I found out (on the internet) that this particular teacher had done some great work on chaos theory when he was at university. Asked about it he prepared a presentation about chaos theory and it's implicancies and invited us to learn a bit more about this subject *in his spare time*. Tell you what: we all came back to school at about 07:00pm to listen to his explanations.
As far as I know, this teacher is now working for a company in the UK. He left our school the year we had our graduation.
