My biggest regret to this day is not staying in contact with my favorite high school teacher because she had such a big impact on me

I had this biology teacher in high school. She would make so many jokes to keep us interested. When she went over the lab equipment, she got to the lab coat and said, “this is perfect for a hot date, but if you’re feeling risqué, I suggest you wear the transparent one.” Simple stuff like that goes a long way toward making learning more enjoyable. >

HELL YEAH
My history teacher in high school would make a joke whenever he turns on a projector and be like "whoa look at them lasers"
it's kind of an inside joke but yeah >

My history teacher hates our Right wing dictator government

School can also be enjoyable if it's not a high school full of kids that hate each other. >

It's insane how enjoyable and easy it is to be a caring teacher when the students all want to learn, care about school, and respect each other and the school staff. >

Listen I just wanted to learn, I don't need a teacher calling me the N word and throwing a chair at me just because he has a bad day. >

Wait, WHAT????? Did that actually happen?? >

happened at my school. He didn't get fired. >

Did you talk to any of the higher ups about it? Like the principal, or whoever runs the school? Assuming they care thsr something like that happened, of course. >

Shoutout to Mr. Hayes for making me laugh and learn to appreciate math again. >

Yeah, it really adds up >

Take my upvote. >

Sadly the school system makes that very difficult to do without wrecking your whole life as a teacher >

I failed 11th grade math because my teacher was on his last year before retirement. He literally copied the page from the book on the overhead and put his feet up on the desk every day. I didn't do math the way he said I should and he accused me of cheating all year and marked me down. The year before in a different school I was over 70% in everything. Fast forward 10 years I was doing math for a living in the trades no problem. Didn't send a space shuttle to the moon but all that stuff the internet says they never use? I did, and made a lot of money. Algebra, Trig and geometry are totally useful. And fuck teachers with no drive to do their job. Believe in your self. I'm still so mad to this day that I believed I wasn't good at math because of that guy. >

Man that really sucks.. Pretty crazy how many of us can relate to teachers generally just being shit and we can't do anything about it because school has passed >

Same goes for taking a course because you have a genuine internet in it and not because you’re forced to.
