I have to dig back to my freshman year of high school. (Because, frankly, I don't remember much of the rest of the years of high school, and I was never impressed by any teachers before high school.)
Anyway, the teacher that made the biggest impression on me was Mr. Sanders...or "Sir" as we all called him...was my 9th grade English teacher.
I just loved his teaching style. He was the first ever teacher to treat students like humans instead of dumb ass kids. I never felt like we were being taught AT, we were explained and we learned things this way. I don't even remember that he had a real grading policy.
He accepted zero bullshit and not a single person in that class ever tried to pull any bullshit.
I started liking and learning to write in that class. I think I owe him a thank you.
So, Sir, wherever you may be right now, thank you for inspiring me to becoming a better human at a young age and for opening my eyes to literature and making learning fun.
