50 Times Teachers And Professors Acted So Wholesomely, Their Students Just Had To Share The Pics (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
While the definition of a good teacher varies from person to person, we can’t deny that those who are have a funny way of remaining in our memories, even after many years. I bet that even reading this sentence made you think of a figure that made the ticking seconds at school much more bearable.
To pay homage and show their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, Bored Panda has collected some of their most wholesome and heartwarming moments. From gifting plants to drawing cats of the day, these special gestures make students appreciate them even more.
While you’re busy admiring these awesome teachers, don’t forget to check out a conversation with Bryan Davis, a former teacher and life coach, and Dr. Sonaleena Patnaik Lowry, an educational consultant, who kindly agreed to elaborate on what it means to be a good pedagogue and how we can support them.

A Girl In My Geography Class Had To Bring Her Newborn To Class Today. The Baby Started Crying In The Middle Of Our Quiz
When she took him out to hold him, my professor insisted that he wouldn't mind feeding the baby and rocking his car seat until she was done. This is my so awesome, sweet professor, on his knees.
According to research, teachers impact over 3,000 students throughout their careers. 83% of pupils say that they helped improve their confidence and self-esteem. A similar number of learners report having an educator who encouraged them to follow their dreams, while over half say they received help from them during a difficult time.
Such numbers tell us that many people dedicate themselves to leaving a positive impact on the minds of our young generation. And we’re very grateful for it. To learn more about what it means to be a good teacher and how we can better support their good work, Bored Panda reached out to Bryan Davis, a former teacher and a life coach from Mentally39.com. We also contacted Dr. Sonaleena Patnaik Lowry, an educational consultant who has experience with projects for school districts and teaching.
Davis tells us, “Good teachers know their students, they learn their background, they know their home life and learning style. Students will remember the teacher who made them feel safe, cared about them, and made learning fun.”

Oh my god I’ll never be able to pay attention in the class!! In a good way that is!

It is terrible to lose someone. Depending on the connection you had with them, you never really get over it but the first few weeks are horrible. Asking for a 24h extension is already insane to me that you have the core strength to still do your work even if you're not feeling great. Other students choose to not do their assignments or do then very poorly/last minute just because they were lazy, and you as a professor to not be able to tell the difference between that and someone who is genuinely trying despite everything is extremely pathetic.

Load More Replies... Dr. Lowry’s take on this matter is very similar. She says, “There are many different areas that teachers make an impact on in the growth of their students, such as social- emotionally, academically, motivation, helping students set high goals, providing them with support academically and emotionally, believing that their students are capable of learning and creating a positive classroom environment for students.
Teachers who have a positive impact on students have evidence of supporting students to be successful academically, social-emotionally, and also in student goal-setting and motivation.”

Kids are already in school 8 hours a day. No reason to keep them working even an extra hour or two when they get home. I think it normalizes overworking and not keeping a balance between work and personal life. It's much better for families to spend time together.

I view it as kids learn the materials in school and then they do the homework for the teachers to make sure they know it and then if they turn it in incorrectly then they get sent to student support. If it takes you two hours to do the work, then it’s still important to do the work, there’s six hours at school to learn how to do it. This is just what I think though

My Daughter's Teacher Is Undergoing Chemo. This Was Their First Art Class This Year
I'm so appreciative of how hard this woman works to teach her students about more than just academics. She is a strong and beautiful person (whose permission I requested before posting).
Indeed, just like adults, young personalities need positivity, security, a sense of belonging, and even some fun. It’s important that these requirements are met, as it helps learners progress and have a positive attitude towards learning. Often, teachers achieve this by showing respect for everyone, fostering a sense of community, and celebrating successes.
Being able to engage students with humor and creativity is also a significant part of what makes someone a good teacher. Whether it’s sharing a video, a song, or a movie, or using technology and taking an imaginative approach, children appreciate the extra effort. A teacher dressed in a period costume surely makes history more interesting, while a nature hike can make learning biology more memorable.

Even though about 66% of teachers are satisfied with their job, half of them still reported not feeling a great deal of support or encouragement. Davis explains this by saying, ”There is a huge mental strain on teachers. Many people are leaving because of the stress, workload, and unreal expectations set by politicians who do not have a clue what teaching involves. All of it leads to mental and physical health issues.”

I was that student who never slept during class. I was sick one day and my mom had given me cold medicine before school. I dosed off by accident and my teacher walked by and woke me up and scolded me. My desk neighbor who always slept spoke up for me and told the teacher to leave me alone and I’m obviously sick or something since I never sleep. Thank you, Michael Jackson. Go Cougars!

I never understood why teachers would get mad or wake up a student who is sleeping. In most cases something IS going going on. I would first try to ask the student after class what's going on rather than draw attention to him from the entire class and make fun of him as most teachers do. It is insane to me. I would understand if the student was partying all night then slept in classes. That's just irresponsible. But there are so many other reasons for which a student might fall asleep in class. Extremely likely, something has happened. Don't be a d**k

Dr. Lowry notes that the area lacking support the most is collaboration between pedagogues. Luckily, she was able to work with some schools and include them in her Professional Learning Network (PLN), which gave them the opportunity to reach out to teachers from school districts other than their own.
She shares, “Many teachers felt supported and uplifted in their teaching practices. Schools that I'm currently working with are meeting with teachers from the schools that their students will promote, such as collaboration between elementary school teachers, middle school teachers, and high school teachers. These teachers are in the same school community, and they collaborate to ensure that each of them is providing the necessary support for students as they move through the school system.”

My high school, school nurse, Mrs. Grant. She is still one of, if not, the nicest, loving, caring and compassionate person I have ever been blessed to have in my life. I started suffering from migraines, not too long before I started high school and I'm so grateful that she was there for me and so supportive and caring. I would hate when she wasn't there and we had some substitute nurse, if I had a migraine coming on. They would assume I was just trying to get out of class and give me a tylenol or advil, send me back to class with my "little headache." The particular sub nurse that mocked me, was never at my school again, after Mrs. Grant returned and I told her what happened. I also had a note put into my file, explaining the severe migraines I would get. She is truly is an amazing woman. 🩷🫶

Additionally, most educators propose hiring more counselors and school psychologists. They provide more support for students, which simultaneously lightens the workload of teachers. In addition, counselors can aid in creating a more positive school environment by teaching about social-emotional awareness and being one more trusted adult for students to rely on.

Teacher Going Above And Beyond For Their Students

Meanwhile, I had a professor (and have seen others comment about one they had) who got sick of students using Chegg help to get answers to homework and would purposely post on the site false answers so they knew who was “cheating”. The whole purpose of sites like that was to get someone to help explain how to get to answers. Not all students who went on there were lazy.

Parent first, teacher second. This lesson on being a good parent will stay with his students. He didn't want to disappoint his son or his students. Another good compromise would be to have a remote class. This way he could stay home with the kiddo and still pass his knowledge on to his students.

I love teachers like this. At one school near where I used to live, whenever any animal is found on the grounds, they call animal control. Apparently after an incident on the grounds traumatized some students, one teacher told her class that if an animal is friendly enough for them to catch, to bring it to her class (mobile classroom, so not attached to the building and easy to sneak things in). One day my dog escaped and ran off too fast. About an hour later, with me roaming the neighborhood looking, I got a call that I could pick her up by going directly to the classroom. I stopped by the store and bought cookies for the entire class to thank them.

A similar story but a different ending... I was "brave enough" to show my high school English teacher a little something I had written for myself. I enjoyed writing but never thought I could be good enough... she ripped it apart and told me nothing positive. I've never written anything (for myself) ever again. The happy ending? I became a special education teacher so I could support students and what they want to be... and to never, ever be that teacher. Teachers, like above, your words can do ill or good... be that good.

Mixed feeling about this. 5th grade is young, so probably fine, but we have to remember that students are here to learn more than math and science. They learn how to navigate life. Life doesn't always let you redo things or turn them in whenever. There should be some boundaries for sure.
Chrissie Anit 1 year ago
If they retake it (especially numerous times), they just memorize the correct answers from the discussion/grading of said test. I don't see the learning benefit here.
Littlebunnyfufu 1 year ago
In my experience, usually if retakes are allowed the test isn't the same exact test, just a test on the same concepts/materials. So, for math, you'd retest on problems with the same concepts not the same exact problems. Teachers are trying to make sure kiddos are learning the concepts/information. This means if a student fails a test, the teacher knows then that the student needs more support to learn the material or concept. Once they demonstrate knowledge they can retake the test.
