Today is Teacher Appreciation Day in the US. Do you appreciate your teacher? Probably not. But if they're good then you probably should. After, school can be kind of boring, and so it takes a very special kind of teacher to stop you from falling asleep at your desk every day.

Check out this list, compiled by Bored Panda, for our favorite examples of awesome teachers. Some of them skateboard to work every day, some of them have 'I want to marry Justin Bieber' embossed on their pencils to stop students from stealing them, and some of them confiscate their student's phones just so they can take selfies with them. Let us know which ones are your favorites, and don't forget to tell us all about your own favorite teachers in the comments below. After all, while boring teachers are never remembered, awesome teachers are remembered forever.

I hope it wasn't an English class or you wouldn't have got an A by putting an apostrophe in 'gets'.

I had a University Professor who taught an entire 3 hour lecture on the Viking Invasion wearing one of those horned Opera helmets with the long blonde braids. It was brilliant. He was the best.

This would have messed me up. I would have been so confused and then convince myself I'd answered questions wrong, even though I'd also be pretty sure I got them right. Evil teacher

Same. On tests after three questions with the same letter in a row I would be convinced I was doing something wrong

I don't see how this teacher is awesome, many of his students will be confused and be convinced that they are doing something wrong, even though they are perfectly correct, and perhaps flunk the class. Funny as it may seem to some people, i don't see how this teacher could be one of the awesomest teachers ever

I had a teacher once give out a test, in the directions it read: you are done with this test. She wanted to see how many actually read the directions, not many passed the test. I myself always read the directions on a test.

Evil is when you change the pattern 60% of the way down and see who fails.

Even meaner is if he takes 1 to 4 of the questions and deliberately breaks the pattern, so they are never quite clear if there even is a pattern

Can you imagine what they are thinking once they start to notice the pattern. "I must be doing something wrong!"

I would make all of them B and change the very last one to C just in case a student thinks they figures it out.

True, but for a lot of student they worry that they are doing something wrong and second guess themselves. It's like form b if you keep getting the same answer your going to think you are doing something wrong.

Not really. I've had all types of exams in college and multiple choice can be as hard as the prof want to make it...leaving short answer, fill in the blank, or T/F as your only friend. Some short answer promts/essays are impossible & while i love fill in the blank, i also know kids who hate it and kids who think that T/F will be the death of them. Just depends on how the question is asked. The great thing about a scantron though, is that you get your grade back sooner.

This reminds me of a funny teacher in high school, when a colleague was texting during class, she took his phone and put it on her desk (to give it back to him after class, of course, as many teachers do). Then he received a call, she answered it.
