Mr. Feeny may have ruled the ’90s, but a bunch of teachers rocked the ’00s.
Professor Remus Lupin — Harry Potter films
Why You Wanted Him: He was a kick-ass Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Unlike many of Hogwarts' staff, he didn't betray his students. In fact, he fought beside them until the very end. Any teacher who'd give their life for their students is one hell of a person.

Dewey Finn (as Mr. Ned Schneebly) — School of Rock
Why You Wanted Him: Helloooooo? He taught the history of rock, thought math was "not important," and made kids listen to famous musicians as homework.
Best. Teacher. Ever.

Mr. Will Schuester — Glee
Why You Wanted Him: Uh, he's smokin' hot. Plus, he actually believes in his students' abilities and talents. He's not just there to work from 9 to 5, but rather to develop real relationships with the kids. That's a true sign of a good teacher.

Señorita Rodriguez — That's So Raven
Why You Wanted Her: She was super sassy, and used that wit in her teaching style. Plus, she listened and danced to her Ricky Martin CD in class, so it really doesn't get any better than that.
