What school were you at when you experienced standing ovations for teachers? I never have and it also looks like many other commenters have not. I wonder if it is a cultural thing?

In Europe (or some countries in Europe) it's common to receive applause at the end of the semester but never in the US.

UCSD. Most of my professors received standing round of applause at the end of the final lecture. Pretty common practice here
