Dropped out because I realised I didn't really want to go where I was going w/the studying. Well and spectacular is probably not really the right word... it was just that everyone was really surprised when I got up one morning and decided not to go back, more or less. Because I was doing pretty well until then. And of course they couldn't know I had thought about it for the better part of a year already and it wasn't as spontaneous as it might have looked.
As for teachers... teachers and I never got along all that well. *g* I guess the best teacher I've ever known was my history teacher in grades 12 and 13. He really knew how to motivate people, and he made history sound interesting.
I think a lot of people become teachers because they don't know what else to become. Met a lot of those in uni. That history teacher was different. He actually cared about his students. He knew everyone in the whole school, and I mean really EVERYONE. By name. He used to stand at the entrance before first period and greet everyone that came in. Which is pretty cool, I think. Everyone always knew where to find him and he actually talked to people. There should be more teachers like that.
