It's been a long time since I have been in K-12, so my memory is a bit fuzzy on the details of what I really admired about particular teachers. Also, I switched schools a lot and had a pretty disruptive home life, so I was really more concerned with surviving school than taking anything positive away from my experience. There were teachers who were better than others and there were some that were decidedly not good, but again the details are so fuzzy that I think a teacher from my own experience will not give me the material that I will need to write a paper. I've considered my children's teachers, but my experience with them is from the persecutive of a parent and somewhat limited to write a paper. I will choose the teachers from the movies that we watched in class; two teachers that I would have loved to have. I loved their passion, their creativity and their abilities to look beyond what was expected of them as faculty and the expectations that traditions had created to really teach and mentor their students. They both went the extra mile for their students did not let others compromise their visions what needed to be done. They stuck to it and followed through. I especially loved how Ms. Watson had effected her students and how she challenged them to go deep and learn in a way that they had not done before. It is was fitting that in the end the greatest thing that she taught them was to not compromise yourself. She taught them this by the way that she lived her own life. I admired both of these teachers as people.
