(not a teacher) The first one is correct. The second is not. You could get away with switching 'boring' and 'old', but 'philosophy' needs to stay next to 'teacher'.

Which one [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] of the following adjective orders [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] is (verb refers back to "one") correct?

My boring old philosophy teacher.

OR

My philosophy old boring teacher.


I would appreciate [STRIKE]yr[/STRIKE] your prompt reply.
Thank you.

As SlickVic said, the first is the natural order of adjectives. Please see the amendments I have made to your post in red. Remember to use a punctuation mark at the end of every sentence. Also, please use full English words ("yr" is not a word).
