You know, with even high schools on the net now, wouldn't it be cool if students compiled a secret mailing list/FAQ to recommend which teachers to take?

Presenting excerpts from the Lowell High School Teacher FAQ! We accept submissions and updates! Any resemblance to actual people, living or dead is purely coincidental.

[Morishige]
English/German.

Often said of her, "she's hard but good." Average level of class participation. Highly sought after by academics.

Annoying trait: Doesn't like ripped notebook paper.
Recommendation: Take, if you'd rather learn than get good grades.

...

[Taylor]
English.

Bland, humorless, and authoritarian. Many assignments bizarre and pointless. Professional to the extreme--you'll never see him in anything but a suit, and you'll never see him smile. High rate of essay exams.

Annoying trait: Locking you out if you're late.
Recommendation: Avoid at all costs!

...

One of the most popular. Easygoing and pleasant manner. High level of participation. Most of his sections will fill early. Applied Econ particularly fun.

Recommendation: Take!

...

[Glander]
German/Latin.

Pleasant Grandfatherly style. Very high rate of participation. Well-respected, but not particularly sought. Exams a mixture of m/c, filling, short answer, etc.
