Favorite teacher?

So today I finally realized that I don't really like some of the teachers that I have right now, and it's been a while since I've had one that I really enjoyed learning from. My favorite teacher that I had would have to be my 9th grade English teacher.
 
So Giantbombers, do you have any favorite teachers?

As an Artist I always got along with the Art Teachers in my schools except the odd horrible one. But I had one incredible Science teacher called Mr Plester that really looked after me like a father figure, especially when I was first adjusting to Secondary School. He was a great guy :)

My grade four teacher was radical. He was a big hockey fan, and he sometimes took us out of class to play road hockey or hackey-sack.  
 
Weirdly it never seemed like we were doing anything, but I learned more than year than I have any other. He really knew how to mix lessons and fun. 

There are some really annoying teachers but my science and English teachers are both just really cool. I spoiled the ending of Assassins creed 2 for my English teacher. She gasped and then told me not to spoil anything for anyone ever again.

In Year 8, our Maths teacher let us watch A Beautiful Mind. He then lost it, and we watched Gladiator instead. Good times.

You had one incredible teacher named Mr. Plester.   Plester rhymes with molester.   The joke writes itself. "

For some reason all the science teachers I've had turned out to be the best. Well...that was until I found out one of my elementary school science teachers was arrested for having sex with a student after he went to different school. Yeah... 
 
(I'm in my 2nd year of college, found out last year...) 
 
On a lighter note, one of my science teacher's in highschool played WoW LITERALLY all the time. He did let us come in his class and watch moives, anime, and play games on high projector though. I'll never forget the Halo 3 lan party we had in there. Good times...

I have a fantastic Comp. Sci.  teacher at the university I go to. Knows his stuff and knows how to teach/make you pay attention.
