Unless you have a real passion for it, some subjects can make for quite dull and difficult classes. Physics is one of those subjects; fiendishly complex and full of mathematical intricacies, you are studying the behavior of the universe itself! The physical laws of matter, energy and the fundamental forces of nature are really not something to be approached lightly, which is why many physics professors are, let’s just say, on the more serious side of the teaching spectrum.
That doesn’t mean that physics can’t be fun though! With the right personality, a passion for the subject and a little creativity, a good teacher can inspire students to learn anything. I mean, who didn’t just love Dead Poets Society?
Tumblr user kaijuno, who describes herself as “Astronomer. Photographer. Science Educator. Show Host With the Most,” is currently at college studying Astrophysics, Mathematics, and History. She clearly appreciates the methods of her new professor, do we detect a little swooning in her descriptions of him?
Wouldn’t you just love a teacher like this? Estrada knows the importance of engaging his students, treating them with respect and going well out of his way to make sure they get every opportunity to learn with a smile.
With America currently losing its teachers at a record rate, with people leaving the profession for a variety of reasons including tight budgets and lack of support, enthusiastic young professors from abroad could become vital in filling the gaps. So it’s lucky that the government is currently being so open-hearted and welcoming to immigrants from Latin America right now, isn’t it?
Here’s what people had to say about kaijuno’s post

...We need more cool teachers like him which goes through the extra mile to make sure that learning is fun.
I had a teacher like this in history when I was younger. The saddest thing is that his "fun" slowly died when the students made it so hard to be a good teacher. By the time I graduated that school he didn't do any of the cool fun stuff he use to do. I went back years later just to say thank you.....
I have many friends who are teachers - and I can tell you now, that you going back would've meant the WORLD to him. <3 (which reminds me that I must find 3 of my highschool teachers too. They literally saved me, and have NO idea that they did. Teachers can be pretty damn awesome, huh?? :D )
I love history. I knew a lot before I got into grammar school because my mother bought me a bunch of history books. She also taught me how to read before grammar school. But the history teachers did their best to kill it. Memorizing names and dates. Just so they could avoid the essay questions on the exams which is what history is all about. Why? Not what, when. Why did Brutus stab Caesar. Not where, when. Connections was a fantastic Brit TV program that gave you the cause and effect of so many historical landmarks. The average American gets little out of it. They never learned how to interpret History. Santayana was so right.
We also had a chemistry teacher that had us all gather in the school auditorium one day. He had a metal paint thinner can with some water in it on a burner...heating it up to boiling. He then popped it off the burner, screwed the lid on tight, and set is aside while he lectured. Within a few minutes we hear a loud pop. He says "Ah..here we go." And we all watched while the can proceeded to collapse from it cooling down...the super hot steam (gas) inside was losing it's expansion and reforming into a liquid state. We were all highly impressed.
They need to get bigger pay check.
Sounds like someone has a massive crush
Yep
It's a tad creepy posting so much information and imagery about somebody (presumably) without their consent
