Tell me about the worst teacher you ever had in school.

In college, i started as a math major. My first college math teacher was this brilliant man who was too shy and nervous to ever look at his class, to address us. he never explained anything--he was brilliant, but he turned me off to math. That became a great thing because I found a new passion to study about, and became a teacher myself--but not of math. To me a good teacher makes human connections with their students, cares about them listens to them, helps them. I always did that and do that.
