Sorry to be nitpicky, but I don't think there are a lot of good educators. Now, when I was in school I never had any of these overt grooming and legitimately evil teachers, but I can honestly say, out of all the teachers I was ever stuck with, there were 3 who stood out as 'good'.
1 - Was in grade school, where I remember how he made even boring subjects engaging (while it now sticks in my mind more as a feeling than anything I can describe in specifics)
2 - High school English teacher who was the only teacher in my entire school career that wanted to push the idea of trying to show students how to think through things over the "what to think" that most teachers fall into.
3 - High school physics teacher, his focus was to get his students prepared for university, and felt that if his students needed to take an intermediary class before physics 101 that would represent his failure as a teacher. This made him an asshole, BUT, for a purpose (something that you hate in the moment but realize the favor it did later)
