Awesome teachersTeachers have been getting a right kicking recently and it's not fair. So, let's hear it for the teachers who've inspired you, made you laugh, or helped you to make massive explosions in the chemistry lab. (Thanks to Godwin's Lawyer for the suggestion)

I'm a trainee teacherSo I'm glad to see this question come up. I hope I can inspire pupils as much as some of the guys in this QOTW clearly have.
I don't really have a story as such, but there was one chemistry teacher at my school who ate fire as a demonstration. This was the same guy who was in the 'papers when he was washed overboard in the North Sea and was seriously injured for a good while before he came back to work.
Also, I will never forget one of the language teachers I had, Keith Brockless. The man was a legend, a real old-school academic type. He could speak 10 languages including Latin and both Modern and Ancient Greek, as well as teaching French and German. He made a positive impact on everyone he taught and announced his retirement to a hall full of 1500 or so pupils, who promptly gave him a spontaneous standing ovation.
