School days were the best days of our lives! We all want to go back to our childhood and relive those days. Whether you want to admit it or not, you miss your teachers as well, don't you??
Can you recall the name of your favourite teacher? And also the least favourite one?
While some teachers were inspirational, others were horrendously ill-suited for their job, or at least that's what we thought. Yet, all of them leave an imprint that stays with us for a lifetime. Same goes for onscreen teachers.?
Some of them taught us a lot of things, others have shaped?and warped the minds of generations of viewers. Here is a list of onscreen teachers we wish we had in our school and college years. We would probably sleep less if these were our teachers.
His vast knowledge about chemicals is what makes Walter White a great teacher. He was overqualified for his job. Before he became a drug kingpin and killed people, he would go above and beyond to help his students succeed in every condition.
He knew what to do when things went wrong. His students knew if he's there, everything is going to be alright. He always had plans. When Rio was captured, he took a big risk to save his life. He was always there for his students, no matter what!
Besides being the most powerful wizard of all time, professor Dumbledore was the best teacher of magic. It's been years since the series got over, yet Potterheads still mourn over his death. After all, he scarified his life to protect his students from Lord Voldemort.
Chemistry classes would have been so much interesting had Miss Chandni (Sushmita Sen) been our teacher. Her charm and smile would have made the chemical formulas easier to understand. Her chiffon sarees had become a rage when the movie had released, remember?
Have you ever fallen in love with the daughter of school's principle? Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) from?Mohabbatein?wasn't just a great music teacher, he was also a great love guru. He, who got expelled because he dared to fall in love with the principal's (Amitabh Bachchan) daughter comes back to the same school as a teacher years later and spreads love in the strict boarding school for boys. Wish we had a teacher like Raj who supported us!
They say school is your second home and your teachers are your second parents. For Ishaan Awasthi in Taare Zameen Par, this was actually true. When his parents couldn't understand?dyslexia, his mentor did. Not just that, he even tried to bring out the best in him.?
The best things about professor Ross Geller was that he would almost always come late to the class. He would enter five minutes before the class ended. He was hilarious too.??
John Keating was a die-hard romantic man who always motivated his students to do good and pursue their dreams.? His motto "seize the day" is what makes him one of the most loved on-screen teachers.
Just imagine your English teacher asking you, "Pyaar kya hota hai?" during the class. That's what dreams are made of, right? From teaching Romeo and Juliet, to being lenient?in her classes, Miss Braganza was a delightful teacher we all secretly wanted to have in our college.
The head instructor of Mighty Mick¡¯s Boxing is a kind of teacher who gets upset when he know that the potential of his student, Rocky, hasn't been realised completely. When Rocky is offered a chance at the World Championship, he decides to manage him because he remembers his own days when he didn't have a manager. When Rocky loses his first fight, he boosts his morale and trains him once again.?
Academics are equally important as are co-curricular activities like football. Coach Carter taught his students that academics will make you a good respectable human being. From?teaching that leadership isn't a popularity contest to making them understand the power of teamwork -- "Talent wins games, but team work wins championships". The?sports enthusiasts in us longed for a teacher like him.
"Chaandi ko sone mein badalne ki koshish kar raha hoon"! He taught the team to play as one unit. Remember when he said, "Mujhe states ke naam na sunai dete, na dihkai dete, sirf ek mulk ka naam sunai deta hai. INDIA"??He also taught us about the power of unity. "Team banane ke liye taaqat nahi, neeyat chahiye".
Professor McGonagall was a confident and an eloquent woman. She was strict and taught her students with an iron fist, but deep down she was a total badass. She truly cared for them too.?
Which one is your favourite?
