I still visit a teacher that I've known for around 40 years. We discussed how things were when I went to school. Teachers weren't allowed to inject politics or there would be hell to pay.
We had conservative and liberal teachers, but you really couldn't tell in the classroom. They taught the material and let us think for ourselves.
I go to church with my old 4th grade math teacher. She was great. I miss my US History teacher, not because she was hot (that was a bonus), but the way she taught was captivating, almost enthralling. She was interactive with people and it felt like she genuinely cared about her students and wasn't just there for a paycheck or to robotically read from some pre-planned script/lesson plan from the DOE.
Very few teachers can do a good enough job to inspire teenagers who already hate school. To really learn, enjoy it, and retain it. Not just do the work just for a grade so you can pass the class

My teacher taught us that Abe Lincoln was a democrat...it's that bad.
