I'll start off by saying history is my least favorite subject, but this year i have a feeling it'll be fun. My teacher, he's real cool. Doesn't care about the rules as much (we can drink cokes in class, don't have to raise our hands, can show up late, can forge his name on passes and don't have to ask to leave class, etc). Also, he loves talking about revolutionaries. He's got Dr. King posters and such on his walls, sets up things for black and womens' history month, get excited at the mention of the black panthers, gos on rants about contradictions and horrors of Amerika, etc. So, turns out he has an activist point of veiw but is a strong believer in democracy. Anyway, so I handed him Loenzo's message for a new BPP and he went wild with the idea. He also teaches the stuff that's not in the book, the stuff that they don't want you to know. So, yeah, I'm gonna shut up now because you guys probably don't care.

I had a creative writing teacher who let us do anything. My friend who wasn't even in the class came into the class and my group of friends played pokemon in class. She also listened to Against Me! Also, my environmental science teacher is cool and she likes to talk about how corporations destroy the world and social and environmental problems created by governments of the world. I even showed her this corporate watchdog site that shes using in one of the class projects.

Gotta Love teachers who integrate radical politics into their course plans.
I wish my History teacher in my junior year wasn't such a thoughtless, racist d**k.
He loved blaming all of Southern California's problems on Mexicans. By the end of my junior year someone (or a group of people) completely trashed his car with spray paint. He had to drive around in a car that had 'Racist a*****e' spray painted on his back window for a couple of days until the year was over.
Nearly everyone in my class put in a letter of complaint and he didn't come back in the fall.
My most radical teacher was this older guy who while looking rather clean shaven and well dressed was a total anarcho-punk at heart. He drove me and a couple of friends to a Ghost Mice show upstate and he probably had the most fun out of any of us. He was also the teacher that openly admitted that the education system is ******** up.

I've never had the grace to experience a "cool" teacher.
All of my teachers were the typical boring teachers, except for my History teacher from 8th grade.
He was cool, but only because he didn't take the boring method to teaching.
A lot of what we did was interactive, and hands on learning, like making a huge map of some battlefield or whatever, things like that, and it was fun because we had more group projects than solo stuff.
