The few teachers I actually remember were all enthusiastic about their subjects.
Edited for clarity.
Then you're very lucky.
Oh, it seems I said it in a way that sounded like all my teachers were like that. Not so. I meant I only remember the passionate ones. My 8th grade science teacher, my 10th grade chemistry teacher, my high school sociology teacher, my 11th grade American History teacher and my 11th and 12th grade Electronics teacher are the only ones I have significant memories of.
They were all passionate teachers that loved teaching, not just following a program or book. They taught with experiments, examples, etc. Even when I did things wrong. For example, the 8th grade science teacher. One experiment had us making H20 and NaCl from HCl and NaOH. We'd mix the HCl with a glass stirrer, and I started putting it in the Bunsen burner's flame making it blue.
Teacher caught us and had us stay after class. But instead of just a punishment or lecture, they instead brought out a bunch of dangerous to burn items including magnesium and gave us protective gear, then demonstrated why putting random things in fire was bad. It was an excellent and very fun way to teach us a lesson.
Ah! Well, you were still clearly lucky.
