My history teacher is in his early sixties I'd say. Completely out of it. Every lesson (from early Christianity in Ireland to the Renaissance) ends with him talking about World War II or communism. It's good to see he stills floats by though. By far one of the most entertaining teachers I've ever had.

I've had teachers/professors of a variety of ages. One of my favorites was in his 60's. But one of my worst was also in his 60's.

This almost sums up how my teachers have been, except my worst was in his forties or fifties. >__<

Now we can say age means nothing in terms of teacher quality. n_n
In my experience student teachers have no control over classes and older teachers are just too spaced out to realise they don't control the class. Middle-aged, learned, aware teachers are those who are best.

Statistically speaking.

My worst teachers (actually professors) have typically lacked the ability to speak proper English. That might explain a lot.

I had a Spanish teacher whose Second language was English. She was pretty good at English, but she had a lot of interesting expressions, like, "Piece o' papa" (potato) or, "Don't get lost in the forest!" (said when we were going to the bathroom...) She ws pretty funny. :D

I hope never to have a teacher who can't speak fluent English. D:
Then stay far, far away from anything math-, finance-, or computer- related in college.

And I had a professor whose catchphrase amounted to him yelling "SHUT UP!" at the beginning of nearly every class. He would also say "Another one bites the dust" whenever something like a calculator or cell phone fell on the floor. And of course "Remind me to tell you about the one time I set the lab on fire." Funny guy.

But I like math, finance and computer related things. D:
Sadly, so do all the foreign professors :/ During the first couple years, you can usually avoid them by choosing the classes taught by professors who don't have foreign sounding names, but as you go up in grade you start to run into classes where the foreign guy is the ONLY guy who teaches a class you need to take to graduate...

Before I took a year off from school, I was a Writing/X-Ray Technician major. I'm going back in the spring though so I can finish up my agree.

I've been lucky and not had any instructors who spoke English as a second language or with a thick accent. ^-^;;

I've met fellow students with very thick accents or who weren't native speakers, but listening closely helps you understand them. ^-^

My worst instructor was my Linux Admin 1 instructor, who didn't even bother going over everything before throwing you into the fire. Dx

I'm currently in schooling for computer networking. A lot of my peers at my school my first two semesters didn't even have a basic understanding of computer hardware, which made me wonder why the heck they were even going for a computer networking degree when they didn't even know the hardware they were working with, and couldn't troubleshoot basic connectivity issues such as a cable being unplugged. Dx

I hope you get one; they are are awesome. ^__^ I had a couple other teachers with catchphrases in high school. XD
My french professor is from Senegal, and still has a thick french accent, coupled with his very deep voice. Everyday when he walks into the classroom, he bellows "PEOPLE" AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS.

That sounds awesome. ^__^ The teachers I had in high school that had catchphrases were both friends, and they had opposite phrases. My chemistry teacher would constantly say things like "Helium only has two protons, so it is the lightest element, right? ... WRONG!!!!" everyday/ His friend, my math/physics teacher, did the opposite, and would constantly go "Since the distance increased, for the rate to stay the same, the time would have to decrease, right? Right? Huh, right? Right?" Most of my friends laughed at how they had opposite sayings. XD :D
