She walks the mile
Makes you smile
All the while
Bein' true
Don't take for granted
The passions that she has for you



Correct answer: A Woman’s Worth, Alicia Keys

Writer's Block: And the Apple Goes To

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I'm not 100% certain. See, it comes down to:

• Ron Maniglia, aka Dr. Ron, who was my AP Physics teacher. He made the material accessible, yet he never taught down to you. He challenged you, and would give practical examples of the principles being taught.
  
• Mr. Lynch, who was my US History I teacher. Yes, he taught history, but he would also talk about current events, and try to help us understand them - the causes and the possible outcomes.
  
• Ms. Moccia, who I had for AP English. I have had damn few teachers I respect like I do her. And a lot of that is because of the respect she showed to me. A classic example of this is that we were given an assignment to write about some historical figure who fit the example of the classical tragic hero. Being the sort to not choose what everyone else might do, I strove to find a non-traditional example. I chose to use Adolf Hitler as my example (and he does fit; I defended my choice very well). Many teachers would have failed me outright based on the choice. She didn't. She graded it on it's merits (though she did comment that perhaps another subject may have been more appropriate) - I received an "A" on that paper.
So anyway, those are my choices for "Favorite Teacher".
