I think there are "Rockstar" teachers out there in terms of their impact on students if not their popularity. I had a few teachers growing up that changed the trajectory of my life for sure.
Not everyone can be a rockstar though, and it's probably a pretty poor analogy for what good teachers can do for someone. I think the teacher that is still around and trying to keep subjects interesting and fresh after 20 years is more deserving of praise.
