      Hi Harrison,

      one of my chemistry teachers was a “Dr”, my main recollection of him is that he appeared to have faintly dark green stubble – it could have been the light in the class room but I think we all put it down to too many chemicals!

      cheers

      Hi harrison123!

      Most of my teachers in school were not doctors, although I do remember having a biology teacher one year that did have a PhD and a physics teacher that was a PhD student while he taught at our school (tough doing both at once!)… However, most of my teachers at University were doctors!

      Hi,

      At secondary school none of my teachers were doctors. When I went to sixth form college to study for A- levels I was taught chemistry and biology by doctors but my maths and physics teachers weren’t.

      Hi harrison123,
      Yeh at school I had a few that were Dr….. I even had a teacher that was a priest 😀

      But at university every teacher is a dr. Also, did you know most science presenters are Drs?

      Hi harrison123,

      Let’s see, all 3 of my Chemistry teachers were Doctors, and 2 of my 3 Biology teachers were too. I don’t think either of my Physics teachers were.

      One of my favourite teachers (Miss Heymans) was the Biology teacher without a PhD – she really knew her stuff and she made lessons really enjoyable. A good researcher doesn’t necessarily make a good teacher!

      Cheers,

      Ian
