Awesome teachers
Teachers 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)

It's all in the detail
Funny really as most of the replies this week have been about teachers that have done everything they could to help, yet my most awesome teacher was rather strict on me.
Bit of a backstory, at the time I was your average secondary school student, pretty average grades, well liked and a regular on the sports team. I am not trying to sound like a boasting git but due to my popularity a few of the other teachers were a little easy on me and would let me off with the odd misdemenor such as late for lesson or missed homework, apart from my chemistry teacher.
From some other tales on this week I get the impression that chemistry teachers are usually nutcases that spend most of their time trying to blow things up, our school must have got the only bloke who took more pleasure in checking that our solutions contained the right mix of chemicals and that we pay complete attention to the notes and what we were doing, back then I hated it abd felt he was one of those teachers that hated kids.
In hindsight I realise that he was probably the best teacher I ever had, his eye to detail was better than any textbook and I excelled in the subject the year he left I also realise I could not have got where I am today without his help(Top government job dealing in an area I know he would have admired).
I have made my feelings towards him known before a few times but sod it I am eternally grateful for the teachings of Severus Snape, after all I would have probably died in one of the earlier books if it wasn’t for him.Lots of Love Harry.
