teacher

Good teachers are people dedicated to the education of students in their classrooms and to the institutions in which they work.

(Unfortunately, many of the contributors to this term don't seem to have encountered many good teachers. However, don't give up on learning because eventually several good teachers will show up.)

If you can read this, thank a teacher.

teacher

Good teacher = Someone that cares about her/his students and tries there hardest to have there students leave at the end of the school year knowing something that they taught them.And get paid crap only like $35,000 an year.

Bad teacher = A teacher who don't give a crap about there students and give like 4 hours of homework. And for some reason it seems like they get paid more.

Good teacher ="You know if you EVER need to talk to someone I'm always here for you."

Bad teacher =" Get over yourself and get to work or you will be in detention tonight. You stupid teenager."

Teach For America

A swarm full of college graduates who look like they just graduated from high school. Teaches in poor Urban areas and believe in helping the education gap and practice educational equity. Most often dress inappropriate, want to be friends with the students, and can be very malicious. Most of them are a bunch of young Liberals who favor Barack Obama. Who stalk high school students than you average teacher. Not a real teacher. Aren't certified. A program with a dedication for two years promising leadership and helps pay off their student loans. Most of them come from prestigious Liberal Arts college and don't major in anything useful.

My teacher's major is in English. She decided to join Teach For America because she didn't really know what else to do with her degree.

tachophobia

The fear of high speeds. Roller Coasters, Bungjee jumping, etc.

Not to be confused with Tacophobia, which is something I made up.

A person with severe Tachophobia can be afraid to ride in a car.

Teacher's pet

These are the students that the teacher forever adores. The sad thing is that they don't even have to get good grades they just do numerous things that teachers like, such as:

1) Making schoolnotes or the school website their homepage and then subtly mentioning it where the teacher can overhear
2) Buying a gift so expensive they wouldn't get it for their own mother and then subtly mentioning the price where the teacher can overhear
3) Studying all night long just so they wouldn't let the teacher down and subtly mentioning it where the teacher can overhear
4) Observing and yelling at all the troublemakers when the teacher is out of the room and subtly mentioning them by name and his or her own good act of trying to keep them in line where the teacher can overhear

Basically it's those annoying people that always stand by (figuratively) the teacher and mentioning their good deeds subtly where the teacher can overhear. I have also noticed that they are always the ones who come in with the "perfect" project which has all those weird features and everything lamenated and is soooooo creative that they somehow score better than an A+. I hate them so much. >:0

Teacher's pet: Oh, Mrs. Johnston I love that dress. I can't wait to take that test because I studied a long time but still got plenty of sleep and woke up soon enough to eat a healthy breakfast.
