I think my favorite teachers have been Mme. Bandler and Mr. Pickard. Mr. Pickard was an easy-going guy and always made class fun. As well, he always made the students think. I think that was real important.
Mme. Bandler was a good teacher because she was strict and laid down the law. Basically, if you were late on an assignment you'd get zero. But she has a great deal of knowledge and experiences and willing to share them with her students.

I would have to say the Keaster Bunny. Mr. Keast. He was our art teacher. I remember that if the boys were wearing a hat in he class he would take it off them and jump on it. Also after skipping a few too many of his classes he started up a phone friendship with my mom. One time I was skipping a class (not even his) and I was outside, he saw me, I tried to hide but Corey Maison gave me up and the Keaster Bunny was mouthing the words, "I'm phoning your mother" through the glass. Now that is a dedicated teacher. On the flip side to that I always had fun in his class, I remember my art table with Mickey and Sam and Tammy along with many others.......fun class!

How do you people remember this stuff?!?!!? LOL sheeeesh, I can barely recall my own name after all these years! Thanks for jogging the old brain, this is a great idea (forums) and it does bring back alot of memories. For someone who never skipped a class you'd think I would be able to remember the teachers and students LOL Oh well I'll keep reading these great posts and trying to place names to faces

I'd have to say Terry Boyd. We must have played a million games of 1on1 b-ball. He was a cool, laidback, easy to talk to dude. I learned a lot in his class.

In case your interested.
Terry is doing fine and still in the area. I worked with him on a play at the Pinnacle Playhouse at xmas.
He's pretty good at acting too!
It was my sons first play and Terry, like the teacher he is, took him under his wing at taught him lots.

My favorite teacher was Mr. Robinson. I had him for grade 11 typing. He was great he knew the back row of us girls always went to the washroom to smoke during class, but always justed smiled when we asked to be excused. He never ever once said a word about it.

Chris..... you never ecer skipped a class? Oh my.. we used to cut classes all the time. Mind you we werent very talented about it and most times got caught. Chunky would just sit there and listen to your excuse and shake his head, telling us we were wasting good education. I managed to graduate so something he said in grade 9 must have sunk in .

I never skipped a class in high school either... but it was a different story once I was "paying" for it in University...LOL.
My favourite teacher from my era was Mr. Potter. He taught English... grade 12, I really enjoyed the adult conversations he would have in class with us all. I kept in touch with him for a few years after that.. but by '88 I lost touch.

Wow so many teachers to choose from. I guess all time favourite would be Mr. Terry Boyd. Terry was always alot of fun and I learned alot of "life lessons" from him as well. Mr. J.C. Chapman, Terry, myself and Howie Dell were deemed the "No Work at Lunch Bunch" by Mr. Meeks. We ate lunch in the Phys Ed office, talked sports and then played some hoops. Other notable mentions for teachers, Mrs. Coleman (Theatre Arts), Mr. Lietaer (science and bball coach), Mr. Marshall (English) and the whole Phys Ed department who put up with me for 5 years of invasion!

Mr Baxter I was so bad in Math that I went from advanced to general and was still having a hard time.....he was always after me...he made me finish up one year by completing assignments at his home an hour before i had to report for the militia for a summer job. he was one of the founding teachers and one of the teachers that always went the extra extra mile for you and always seemed to make you feel like a grown up. to me he was my idea of what a teacher was supposed to be...if anyone knows what happened to him can you let me know by e-mail...thanks i feel i guess devasted is the best word to hear about his suicide
