In a scholastic setting, I've had two outstanding teachers.
One in the sixth grade for General Science. The name was Mr. Tiffany, and even though he was a very diminutive fellow he was respected and a very good teacher. He was involved in the very first television broadcast in Boston back in the late 40s or early 50s.
Another great teacher was a math professor at UT El Paso in the early 80s. Her name was Peeples, and I'd never had a math teacher who was so lucid. I wish I'd been able to get in her classes for the higher levels math classes. I had crap teachers for calculus.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

I had several. One in middle school - don't recall his name but he was a great man, taught history, and did right by kids. He loaned me lunch money when I forgot mine at home. He saw me outside the cafeteria and asked why I wasn't eating. I told him I had forgotten my lunch money, and without even flinching he pulled the money out of his pocket and gave it to me. In HS, Mr West. He taught history and told us stories. He entertained the hell out of us and taught us at the same time. That's the way it's supposed to be done! We thought he was ancient but he was probably about 55 at the time. He always wore a dark suit, white shirt and a pencil thin necktie. He looked like a skinny version of LBJ. This was the late 70's.
Then, there was Ms Dillard for English. The first divorcee I ever really knew. She was probably late 30s, and smoking hot. Her son was one year behind me in school. It was pretty uncommon to have a divorced teacher in those days.
We got a new kid in Ms. Dillard's class from somewhere up North. He was a class clown, and was always coaxing people to throw things from across the room, and he would catch them in his mouth. Peanuts, M&M's, you name it - that boy could catch it in his mouth! He was always interrupting class doing this s***! Miss Dillard got tired of his shenanigans one day, and said from the front of the room, "here catch this!", and threw a piece of chalk toward him. Lo and behold he caught it in his mouth and swallowed it. It lodged in his throat and he started gasping for air and turning blue! A couple of us bigger guys grabbed him by his ankles, and no joke, hung him upside down and pounded his head on the floor until he coughed up the piece of chalk! Mrs. Dillard was horrified, and told us that she would be fired if anybody knew what had happened. Nobody ever breathed a word about it!

I went to an old rural 1 room school. I had the same teacher (Ida Kubat) for 6 years before the school got consolidated, and we had to go to a regular school in town. Also for the 6 years I went, I was the only kid in my grade.
It was 1 mile through the woods to get to school and often I was allowed to bring my .22 to school for the walk home when I could work in a squirrel hunt. Talk about a step back in time.

Not sure he was the best, but he made a lasting impression...had my respect.....couldn't have begun to argue a grade on a close call....
Norman Book...Clemson University......building science professor....I had the good fortune to take statics and steel design under him.........you did not miss his class nor fall asleep during attendance.....
I majored in architecture and he didn't miss an opportunity to ridicule the arch folks....I thought that was hilarious to no end.

WS Very similar, only there was two in my class. About 15 total in the school, and three were my brothers I went all eight years to that one room country school. They closed it a in 1966, year after I finished my eight grades. I would not classify any of the three women teachers I had over the eight years as really good.

Had a couple but one stands out in particular. Well she wasn’t a teacher yet but I still had her. Does that count?
