And there were 3 boys in front of me with a man.
So, one boy was holding a lollipop and asked the man "Hey, would you buy this for me? It's only 69 cents"
And the guy was like "Sure"
And the two other boys were like

So the guy was like "Yeah, sure. You two pick something out for yourselves as well and I'll pay for it"
And the two boys were like

then one of them said
"YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER EVER"

And the teacher laughed and was kinda flustered. And I was "awwww"
Then I just remembered kind of all the teachers I've had and I was like "aaaaawww"

So idk, do you guys have any great memories with any of your teachers?

Yes my history teacher. A couple kids in my class where drawn to go to a World War II memorial and I was one of them. When we got back he allowed us to pick out a drink of the vending machine.
We also had a fire practice once (I'm not sure of the correct english word) and we had to go outside. It was great weather so after it ended our History teacher gave a classmate some money to buy icecream for the whole class.
Our history teacher collected suprise egg toys. One time he came to school and he had bought some boxes and told us we could eat all the chocolate.

@vengeance: omg the chocolate!
But he sounds so nice!

@robyn: idk. This was in Canada?
I'm not from here tho - I'm from the Philippines and I feel like it happened there too?
But yeah I think they were a school that went to the school nearby or something and before they left, they stopped by at that store. Idk if that made sense lol.

When I went to the 7th grade (first grade being kindergarten and you go there when you’re 4), I changed schools. I had a few rough years before that, with my father dying, my mother almost dying and my brother going in and out of the hospital for nearly a year. I spend several weeks every time with my foster parents/my uncle and his wife, who weren’t all that nice.

I came in a new class and everyone knew each other, while I knew of some, but didn’t really know anyone.
Next to that, I was more mature than the others, was way taller, had different interests and felt as the odd one (I was).

The teacher I got saw me and recognised me as his mini me. He was socially awkward (like me), liked drawing and reading (next to being a teacher, he was also an artist) and recognised me for who I was.
When he needed help with the fax, he asked me. Computer not doing what it had to do? Me.
He also gave me extra lessons in art and offered books I might like (such as Matilda) from his own collection.

He was the best teacher I ever had.

@Tuijp: understandable.

@Ixora: most were fine with him, but when he disliked you, you were screwed

My fav High school teacher was a sister (not a Nun ...but a Nun hahaha) and since she's married to Jesus etc, she told us a story once of "Just because I cannot order off the menu doesn;t mean I can't read it" essentially, she was talking about checking out cute boys hahahah

@Ixora: She is retired now, but still around the area so I may bump into her from time to time. But I also have friends who are teachers too and have met her as well.
