teachers professors and educational
authority figures on the small screen

sure he was tough but you had to respect
him number 10 mr. Arthur Collins the
Wonder Years the answer is 12 y plus 3
okay so I wasn’t exactly God’s gift to
polynomials but I was doing my best and
Collins knew it remember that teacher
who terrified and enraged you but
inspired you to do better all at the
same time take your seats and open your
textbooks to unit 17 meet mr. Collins
the tough and Stern teach whose
compassion for his students rarely
breaks through his professional exterior
unless you’re Kevin Arnold IV yes I know
tada math professor extraordinaire to
our junior high protagonist mr. Collins
is the kind of guy who’ll go the extra
mile to see his students succeed I think
you can get that a mr. Arnold and I
think he wanted an A and it’s that kind
of quiet support that earned him a spot
on this list despite the fact that he
only appeared in a handful of episodes I
thought you were my friend
not your friend mr. Arnold your teacher
number nine mr. Will Schuester glee
Will Schuester the curly-headed leader
of McKinley High School’s choir on Glee
takes sensitivity to new levels for the
next week each of you is going to spend
three hours a day in a wheelchair oh oh
and we’re doing a wheelchair number mr.
Shue as he’s affectionately known is the
dream teacher compassionate caring
enthusiastic inspiring and able to hit
the high notes this question marks
hanging over us we won’t give the time
of day oh sure he sometimes makes a bad
decision but he’s got the backs of every
kid in his glee club and he works
overtime to make them the best that they
can be I know what it’s like to struggle
to make good life choices and I don’t
want to see you throw away everything
you have to offer the world number eight

manages to address the problems of his
students while setting up boundaries and
even succeeds in teaching things that
would actually benefit them in life what
can I do he says he knows about a murder
I have to notify police on this please
let me call someone I trust number seven
mr. Charles P Charlie Moore head of the
class morning
teaching students can be a challenge
even if they’re smart and gifted that is
one unsuccessful graduating class
just kidding in head of the class
history teacher Charlie Moore has to
remind them that there’s a difference
between learning and knowing and that
there’s more to life than getting into a
good college all right all right where
were we we were watching you in the
assistant principal making goo-goo eyes
mr. Moore is in that long line of
motivational teachers that knows how to
show a person that life is far too good
to waste you can call me whatever you
want just please don’t give me any notes
on my teaching I may be strange maybe
different maybe you think I’m not good
enough but I’m pretty good number six
dr. Richard Solomon third Rock from the
Sun everything’s just going fine and
somebody has a feeling and kaboom
suddenly they don’t like you
dick Solomon physics professor at
Pendleton State University is it your
typical teacher of course I never
thought of that
Oh tomorrow I want you all to write a
paper for me about feelings tell me how
it feels to use only 10% of your brain
for one thing he’s an alien from another
world who’s just disguised as a regular
human being
hey class I thought we’d try something
different no kidding for another he’s
kind of an overgrown kid and doesn’t
know a lot about how human beings behave
I think we’ve underestimated the life on
this planet the people have so much
courage as a result he tends to learn a
lot more from his students than they do
from him but come to think of it that
happens a lot in real life too oh my god
you saw when you were young once why no
no I wasn’t
what do you mean none of your business
number five mr. Herbert garrison South
Park okay children
today we’re going to learn all about
Japanese poems called haiku South parks
mr. garrison known for a while as mrs.
garrison after a sex change operation
may not be the greatest role model but
he definitely qualifies as memorable and
now children our friend mr. hat is going
to tell us about Christopher Columbus
that’s right mr. garrison Christopher
Columbus discovered America the
elementary school teacher appears to
suffer from multiple personality
disorder with two of those personalities
expressed through puppets called mr. hat
and mr. twig mr. garrison seriously I
have to go can I please be excused from
class
I don’t know Kyle did you ask mr. hat
although for puppets they seem to have
very independent lives as a teacher mr.
garrison is incompetent and spends much
more time showing his class Barnaby
Jones reruns and making factual errors
which doesn’t really seem so out of
place in the world of South Park mr.
garrison we’ve been watching Barney
Jones repeat for eight days now it’s
hard to keep paying attention oh excuse
me Kyle why don’t you just forget what
Barnaby Jones has to say why don’t you
not pay attention to Barnaby Jones and
then let’s see how far you get in
society number four mr. George Feeny Boy
Meets World there’s no gravity in space
mr. Matthews
therefore astronauts suck up learn from
them Boy Meets World mr. Feeny would
make the list if for no other reason
than that he somehow managed to be a
part of Cory Matthews academic life from
elementary school through college and
why not mr. Feeny may be strict but he
has a heart of gold underneath believe
in yourselves dream
try
he cares deeply about his students and
pushes them hard out of a sense of
devotion and love tell us you love us I
regard all my students equally oh you
know we’re your favorites while the
almost too-cool-for-school Jonathan
Turner deserves a mention as John Adams
highs motorcycle-riding English teacher
it’s Feeny that continues to live on
through countless memes and Tumblr posts
today well this afternoon mr. Matthews
you are going to learn something from me
do I have your attention yes
number three Walter White breaking bad
chemicals no chemistry is well
technically chemistry is the study of
matter Walter White starts out as a
pretty good chemistry teacher displaying
a passion for the subject that was once
his chosen profession I just just think
about this electron they change their
energy levels however he just doesn’t
know how to reach a bunch of kids who
clearly have no interest in it
it is fascinating briefly
as white grows more and more invested in
his heisenberg persona his teaching
personality changes too
mr. white and not always for the better
you’ve been absent a lot recently and
when you are here at school there have
been some behavioral questions but
watching the contrast is absolutely
engrossing well hey Walt what’s wrong
with you number two Ben Chang community
all right that’s not I graded your tests
I’m sure you want to know how you did
right well I’m not gonna tell you until
I find out who did this Ben Chang is not
your typical Spanish teacher for one
thing he faked his teaching credentials
for another he’s a bully and an
unbalanced one at that
and whatever the Spanish word is for
dictatorial that describes his approach
to teaching at Greendale
I faked my way into a job as a Spanish
teacher at a community college relying
on phrases from Sesame Street oh my god
save the judgement winger all right no
wonder he got fired
still Senor Chang has an undercurrent of
vulnerability and a load of insecurity –
PJ you’re wearing protective goggles to
destroy my car safety first stop he may
not be the kind of teacher you want in
the classroom but he’s definitely the
kind you want on your favorite quirky
sitcom okay come back in ten minutes and
if anyone asked I sent you to learn
things and Pierce close the door please
gosse’s before we reveal our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
formatting and computer labs in here I
thought it would be nerdy and lame I’m
not hot at all and then we’re gonna be
footnoting and then noting and it’s
gonna be so cool great
number one good morning Gabe Kotter
