You had one of these as well......
My high school physics teacher was Mr Kent. He was a hippy in the late 60's and that stuck with him still to this day. We have America records playing while taking tests or doing labs. Test questions would be similar to "It's 1967 and I'm walking down the on ramp onto Interstate 70 to hitch hike to California, what is the frictional coefficient of the rubber of my shoe sole to........"
The teacher for me was my 5th & 6th grade teacher, Mrs Siemion. She was stern but fair and took no crap. You get out of line and it was out to the hall with the "board of education" She also taught responsibility. When homework was not complete you'd have to stand up in the class and tell her why. Most times the only acceptable answer was "I chose not to do it".
She was an outstanding teacher in every meaning of the word. Still respected by parents and students years later.
