Great Teachers

Great teachers are those who, above all, apreciate this about school children, that pupils are as were they -from a poem (translated) from one of the many web-sites on him, of the hailed late Cypriot teacher-thinker Orhan Seyfi Ari:

Sometimes such fools we were, sometimes smart kids
Sometimes Satan's tools, sometimes with saintly deeds

This appreciation made this teacher, one of the much hailed great teachers, Orhan Seyfi Arı loved by everyone -they named steets after him, composed poetry after him.

Popular anime and manga series centered around the exploits of one Eikichi Onizuka, a musclebound blonde ex-biker gang member who decides he wants to become a high school teacher to win the 'hearts' of virgin schoolgirls. However, we quickly find out that he's really a tough guy with a heart of gold who wins over each and every student that tries to get him fired by using his street smarts to inspire them and rid them of their inner demons.
