My media teacher didn't even know what he was on about, my chem and methods teachers both didn't care about the year 12s. If I ever became a teacher I'd hope to be somewhat like my psychology one. Truly inspirational lady.
hmmm I'm thinking about rebutting this hahahaa

In terms of sheer teaching quality (I was probably closest with my English and ex-Philosophy teachers personally), most likely my Literature teacher - he's the head of English at MGS, and I honestly believe the reason our school's English results are so good is because of him.  Marking was often done in less than half an hour (I kid you not, in the third term holidays I would write essays, email them to him and he'd give them back within the half hour), and his knowledge of the texts were simply profound; halfway through the year, we found out that he'd lectured and completed part of a PhD at one of the Oxbridge schools, and we also knew all along that he was an Ivy League graduate (Pennyslvania).

I remember how my English teacher gave us half-assed comments on our work :(
she simply wrote "well expressed, lacks detail" on my B+ film-analysis and on my friend's A-grade-analysis she wrote "sound."

What part? I speak the truth. I'm guessing it's about hobo and ezzy. Well they didn't care. By the end they didn't even want to waste paper on practice exams for us.

Same here (for the former)! Though I am yet to attest to the projected godliness of the latter. :p
