Some Broke Machine
I recall not too long ago, there was a "Mean Teachers" thread. What about the other side of the coin: teachers you've had that you liked.
I know it's been done, but not in a while.
My favorite teachers when I was a kid (K-12) were actually sisters. I had the elder sister for 6th grade science. She brought cupcakes. Her younger sister (10th grade math) was cooler, though. She brought Krispy Kremes (doughnuts and such, in case you don't have a Krispy Kreme in your country), let my friends and I work together (cheat) during class, and gave me a birthday present (it was a black die. I had a habit of rolling dice in class a lot then). She was awesome.
Since I've started Uni, I've had a few that I've loved to death. The first were this pair of old ladies that taught my Psychology class. The older one (Turner) was a lot more serious, and didn't let me get away with anything. It was also like pulling teeth to get her to let us have a break (the classes are 4 hours long, each). She was nice, though, as long as you didn't get on her bad side. She was the first woman in our state to get a Doctorate in Psychology, so that was pretty cool, too. Her hippie counterpart (True) was a lot cooler. She'd give us a break every 20 minutes (she was a smoker) and was a lot more lax with her teachings. I remember once, she was talking to us about something, then she just fell dead silent for SEVERAL minutes. Someone asked her what was going on and she replied: "...there was a cop-car out there, I was wondering what it was doing..." I think she was concerned about her stash. They both brought food to every single class--Turner brought home-cooked meals with enough for us all to have some and True brought candy.
Neither of them hold a candle to my "Kentucky History" professor, though. He was a trip. He'd swear like if he kept doing it, he'd win a prize. He is also one of the head Conservation Officers in the state. He would tell us all these insane stories about people he encounted while doing surveys. There was these people out in the sticks who thought that he (and the rest of the Conservation Department) were dropping RATTLESNAKES out of helicopters. Rattlesnakes. Out. Of. Helicopters. Another chap literally chased him around after he took a sample of some fish from one of the lakes. The guy called him and said "I know what you're doing with them fish!" like he was going to go turn them into bio-weapons. He also taught us how to spot the home of a meth-head. He said: "You c'n always tell if a damn meth-head lives there. There'll be all these vaccuum cleaners and washing machines and **** out in the yard all took apart. You see, they get ****ed up, take 'em apart, and when they come down, they can't remember how to put 'em back together!" He was full of stories for us. He brought pizza and wanted to bring beer.
So, what about you guys?
