Teachers / Professors of Mine - Part I

I think teachers at all levels get a bad rap.  When kids do well, their parents take all the credit, when kids do poorly, teachers take all the blame.  Further, good teachers are often forgotten even by students who appreciated their effort.  Whenever, my friends and I are discussing various teachers / professors it almost invariably leads to which teachers / professor's "mailed it in". 

This outlook really reinforces the worst stereotypes of the profession i.e. lazy teachers with tenure who don't care.  Therefore the purpose of this series will be to discuss teachers I have had at all levels of education with a dash of cynicism and praise for those who did well and those who did not.  I'm going to include the following schools I attended -

Marvista Elementary, Normandy Park, WA 1982 - 1988

Sylvester Middle School, Burien, WA  1988 - 1990

Highline High School, Burien, WA 1990- 1994

University of Washington, Seattle, WA 1994- 1998 -  Note this will emphasize my major of Business / Accounting

University San Diego, School of Law, San Diego, CA -  2003 - 2006

Any classmates from those, feel free to comment.
