My favorite high school teacher was my sophomore and junior English teacher. She was excellent, always open to new ideas, she really seemed to like the "out of the ordinary" writing styles and processes that a person such as myself had. I got good grades in her class because I listened, did (most of) my homework, and generally tried to be good at the class, and was innovative in what I did.
I hated my sophomore Chemistry teacher. He definitely favored the cheerleader, bubbly type girls. So, long story short, I'm pretty good at math and science and, to be frank, what he was teaching was boring and I knew it already so I would read books during movie time, he took my book from me, a friend of mine saw it on his desk and picked it up for me thinking I forgot it, and we were both sent to the principal (and let go because we're good students and it wasn't our fault he's such a D****b***). After we weren't suspended, he decided to make us both expelled from honors science classes. He also always b****ched about 1 of his 3 children that wasn't going to college for chemistry. We thought that was really s***ty too. He was definitely my least favorite of all my teachers. GUESS WHAT. He promoted my cheerleader, doesn't know anything about science neighbor to honors classes despite her C average (not that that matters, but she definitely didn't know the scientific process either, and was only promoted due to her happy nature, blonde hair and upbeat personality) AND my sister, who was more of the same a few years later.... Yeah, I love my sister to death, but she shouldn't be in honors science, I'm sorry. Honors arts? Sure. Honors science? Yeah, no.
