50 Times Teachers And Professors Showed Just How Heartwarming And Wholesome They Can Be (New Pics)
Wizards of wholesomeness. Kings and queens of kindness. Sultans of support. Teachers and professors can be very powerful forces of good in their students’ lives, helping guide them and unlocking their potential. Today, the team here at Bored Panda is paying homage to some of the best educators out there. That’s why we’ve collected some of their most wholesome and heartwarming moments.
It’s proof that educators really don’t get paid enough. We’d love to give each and every teacher and professor on this list a wage bump and a hug to thank them for being such awesome inspirations for us all. Don’t forget to upvote the pics that warmed your heart as you continue scrolling. When you’re done with this list, we’ve got some more teacher and professor wholesomeness waiting for you here and here.
And remember, Pandas, if you’ve ever had a great teacher or professor who you still remember fondly to this very day, why not tell them how you feel? Send them an email, give them a call, or drop by your old school. We’re pretty sure they’d appreciate your appreciation. Sometimes, a simple ‘thank you’ is enough to make it all worth it.
Bored Panda got in touch with Lisa McLendon, the William Allen White Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications and the Coordinator at the Bremner Editing Center at the University of Kansas. We had a chat about how educators can motivate students and about some of the nicest things that Lisa and her students have done for each other. You'll find the full interview below, dear Pandas, so make sure to read on.

Chicago Public School Teacher Dwayne Reed, Who's Wife Is Eight Months Pregnant With Their First Child, Requested To Work From Home To Minimize His Covid Risk

Really hope the parents rallied for him and took the school board to school for their stupidity.
"Just this week I put a current student in touch with an alum who was looking for a summer intern—I knew the student and what the alum was looking for, and I thought they’d be a good match. By Thursday she had the internship!" Lisa, from the University of Kansas, shared one way that she recently helped one of her students.
"It’s always nice to see when your students flourish. I also encourage (and have gotten the university to fund) students to attend an annual professional conference, to see what professionals in the field are doing and start to build their network. Every year a few students go, and they’re always happy to have had such an experience," she said.
"As for nice things students have done for me, I keep a folder of the handwritten notes I’ve received from students, telling me how they value what they learned from me or just thanks for being their teacher, and I read a couple when I have a bad day, to remind myself why I do this job," the professor revealed that these notes can help motivate her.

Special Education Teacher Has Her Entire Class As Members Of Her Wedding Party
Patti Vance 3 years ago
as the mom of a now 20 yr old autistic, i applaud this woman. there are so many things in life that people will exclude these children from because they are "afraid" that they will 'meltdown' or have some issues that are not understood by others. i get it, though. after retiring, my dad's family had a reunion (kind of just for him as he had been away from family for decades-military). dad, myself, and my son attended. when the noise/people started to get to him he just took himself to sit under a tree. i was asked if he was okay so told them he was autistic. loved that they all had an "oh, okay...does he need anything' attitude. they all fell in love with his being just who he is which is all a person can ever ask for.

Wow, you’re so much like my mom! I don’t know your son’s personal expression of autism, but I just wanted you to know that you’re doing it right! You have no idea how special you are. Just wanted you to know that just because someone can’t speak the phrase “I love you” aloud, doesn’t mean we don’t mean it!

These are the kind of special education teachers we need. I have not been happy with most of the special education teachers in this local school district. For example my son is graduating next month. In his self contained unit his teacher told a student that he wouldn't be able to graduate next month if he didn't finish his assignment. My son came home very upset because he was struggling with his 80 page check registry assignment and said he wouldn't be allowed to graduate if he didn't get it done. When I asked the teacher about it she said she was "just joking" when she said it to the student.

A bit unusual - having children, that aren't related to you, as wedding guests, but if the parents gave her permission, OK, I hope they had fun. And I hope this helped them with socializing.
Speaking of motivation, the professor explained to us what educators can do to help guide and inspire their students. According to her, it's important that professors show the purpose of everything that they're doing at university.
"Relating concepts and skills to real-world activities can help many students understand not just what they’re doing but why. Explaining the purpose of big-picture things like a whole course as well as small things like individual assignments can help students understand why what they’re doing is relevant. Also, putting concepts and skills into the larger field can help students contextualize what they’re doing and see how it relates to things they’ve done before and things they’ll be doing at the next level," the professor told Bored Panda.

Jill Hojnacki 3 years ago
Yeah. I was that kid. The morning my mom died I went to school, too. Walked over from the HS (I was 14 & in 9th grade) to tell my former 7th grade teacher because I’d also had her in a different school as my 1st grade teacher & knew she and my mom were friends. I was being polite & waiting at her desk for a moment to speak to her & she was annoyed at my interrupting her prep for the day. Eventually she snapped at me to see what I wanted and I told her that I knew she was friends with my mom & that she’d died that morning. I think her reaction was much like this teachers, but it’s kind of a blur. I know she asked if I thought I should be there & I said it would be easier for everyone because I’d just be in the way at home. I don’t even remember if she offered condolences. I just went back across the road and went to class. I suspect she may have called someone at the HS because, although no one said anything, no one called on me or told me to pay attention. I was allowed to just exist.

My youngest is in Pre-K, and this note was sent home at the beginning of the school year. I am so thankful for this right now, because my children great granny isn't doing well, and doesn't have much longer. I told my kids she wasn't going well, and we cried together as I explained that while we are sad, upset, and heartbroken that her time is coming to a close, when she passes she will no longer hurt, and that we will always remember Granny. She is the Rockstar in our lives, which means she will be the Legend in our lives when she passes. As legends are born of truths. This brings us some comfort. Tomorrow, I will be informing my youngests teacher and my oldests teacher, that they will need to be handled with care, because this has been rough for them. I am so proud of my kids teachers and love them for how hard working they are and the love they show their students and how never hesitate to go that extra mile.
Caryn Jones 3 years ago
That's a good idea. I'm going to use that shorthand with my families next year.
Meanwhile, we were curious as to how educators could subtly let a student know that they should put a bit more effort into their work. "The 'sandwich' method usually works pretty well: Tell the student something good about their work (bread), tell them how something could be better (filling), then tell them something else good, either about their work or about your confidence in their ability to do it (bread)," she explained the sandwich method of criticism.
"Some students want simple, direct feedback on what to fix, but many want to know that they’re at least on the right track and that their teacher thinks they can do it."

Last Minute Before The Graduation. Student Comes To Me In A Panic. He’s Like, They Won’t Let Me Graduate Because I Don’t Have The Proper Shoes For The Dress Code
In total disbelief, I go down to confirm. And sure enough, the lady down there tells me the same thing. So then it becomes a no-brainer to me, a no more questions-asked scenario. I gave him the shoes on my feet. Here’s the funny part though... My shoes were 2 sizes bigger than his, so when his name was called, he had to slide his feet like sleestak across the stage to receive his diploma. We had a good laugh.

This is deeply stupid. Why would you be so insistent on "the right shoes" (which are often reflective of White ideas of "appropriate" and are classiest as many people can't afford dress shoes) that you would deny a child the chance to graduate and be recognized for his hard work

Teachers Tom Rose and Jack Pannett from the UK told Bored Panda during a previous interview that being an educator can be very stressful yet rewarding. Teachers need to be able to deal with a lot of unexpected situations. Planning is important, but being flexible and nimble enough to react to (sometimes unpleasant) surprises is vital, too.
“Box breathing’ is our ‘go-to’ method if we are stressed and want to calm down. Box breathing is a practice where you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold breath for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds and repeat until your heart rate slows down," Tom and Jack shared with us how they calm down if things get a tad too stressful.
The two teachers told us that it’s important to know your students well and to be aware of who might pose the most challenges. That will make it easier to manage their behavior in the future. What’s more, educators have to be very aware of their students’ parents as well. It’s very useful to be diplomatic when speaking to them or giving them advice about their kids. Parents also gossip. A lot.

Teachers Tom and Jack told Bored Panda that a lot of staff members are so busy taking care of everyone else that they can forget about their own health and wellbeing. They noted that teachers have to remember the basics: eating, getting enough sleep, taking time off to unwind after stressful periods.
According to psychotherapist Silva Neves, from the United Kingdom, human beings are hardwired to be kind. However, at the same time, human beings are constantly thinking about their own survival. So there’s an ongoing battle inside everyone about whether or not to be altruistic and to go the extra mile for someone else.

The word suicide should never be erased. Doing that is why she felt shame in the first place. I lost my beloved brother to suicide last year and every day is so hard, because I miss him. Erasing the word makes people feel more alone. There is so little understanding around suicide, and the only way we can help is to face it head on. I was taught to believe it was the "easy way out" but I have come to realize, suicide was the hardest decision my wonderful, amazing, loving brother ever made.

Blocking out the word itself is because of the fear that some people are in such a bad place that reading the word alone could be enough to make them try. It's not about hiding the act, but trying to help a person who may be reading, to not.

Spanish Male Teachers Wore Skirts To School After A Student Got Expelled Over It
John Smith 3 years ago
We had a protest like that when I was at school, the code said that we could wear trousers or skirts as appropriate. When the boys asked if they could wear shorts during a hot summer. We were told, "The clothing code is there for a reason and won't be changed". Well it doesn't say "Only girls can wear skirts". So about 50 of us turned up in school skirts. The headmaster didn't know what to do. One of the teachers that agreed that we should be able to wear shorts backed us up. A week later, the rules changed. They defined who was allowed to wear a skirt. No mention of shorts though.

I was friends with what you could probably call "the nerdy smart kids" at my highschool, and I remember one day the principal sat down at our lunch table (not a normal event but not something that was so out of character we were on edge about it) and asked, super casually, "what do you think about school uniforms?". The immediate and unanimous response was more or less "just no" and since I never heard about it again, I guess that was the end of that. (There was some supporting comments about how it stifled expression etc., but it was ultimately a pretty short conversation).

In my mind clothes are unisex and I've brought my kids up with that and now my grandkids. Middle one came one day with the most gorgeous pair of black sparkling leggings and he shyly asked if they were nice and I told him, they are beautiful and he looks very handsome wearing them. Then he whispered in my ear and said, they have a girls name on the tag but that's OK because clothes are unisex, isn't that right grandma and told him yes, and gave him a hug and a high five. My daughter told me later that when she took him to the 2nd hand clothes store he found them by himself and asked if he could get them. As my daughter agrees with me she bought them for him and said he looked very handsome and he was so happy.

In college, a number of my professors were like "I've assigned homework. It is not graded, you do not have to do it. However, I recommend doing it if you have time." Some of those classes I performed well in without the homework, some I really need to have had the extra practice, but it was on us to decide if we needed it. Unfortunately, school kids aren't really capable of deciding if they need the extra practice, I think, (especially mid-high school grade who may be cognizant but choose to ignore anyway) and not all parents are that invested in their kids' success to ensure any necessary practice is done.

Helping others can make you feel far more positive about life. What’s more, acts of altruism can also help put things into perspective and make you, well, happier. Kindness also has a way of spreading. Doing wholesome things for others inspires them to act in a similar way, in turn. Kindness leads to more kindness. And wholesome teachers create more wholesome students.

I hate day drinking shaming. I used to work over nights at we got off btn. 6-7 in the morning. If I want a beer at 7:30a after working a ten hour shift, get off my case, Megan. The kid might work over nights because it's the only job he can get and still go to school. Regardless, quit looking down at me w/ your perfect 9-5 job eyes for me wanting wings and a beer at 8a.

Sigh. This happened to me when I was four; I donated my hair to Locks of Love (yeah, my hair grows very fast!) and the woman just chopped my ponytail off, and then tried to give me a pixie cut to cover her mistake. I was devastated and mortified, and spent the rest of the weekend dreading school. The first thing I heard was laughter and insults. I put my head down on my desk, tried to cover it with my hands…. And my teacher sent me to the principal’s office for not paying attention. She never even blinked at my classmates. I never donated my hair again, and stopped cutting it at all by the time I was ten. F*ck you, Mrs. Buzza.

In my 2nd grade in 1948 there was one girl who had her hair cut short for a medical condition and the children made fun of her. The teacher sent her on an errand to the office and gave us a talk so we understood she had a problem and we should be kind and not make fun. It only takes something like that to teach a child to be aware, and so many NEVER get that bit of insight given to them.
Karen Philpott 3 years ago
So is there a perception that short hair on a girl or woman then she's a boy/man? What utter bs. I am a woman. I have short hair. Had short hair for years. It's easy to look after, quick to dry. It doesn't drop in your coffee, slide into your food, get caught in zips, fly in your face when it's windy. And it doesn't make or mean that you're anything less than a female!

I would have thought this would have provided an opportunity to teach that stereotypes are not the norm eg various cultures males wear skirt like attire/long hair, whilst there is various forms of dress/hair/adornment for males and females.

It would be nice to see these all as affirmative instead of mixed negative and affirmative. Like "Dear Female Students, your bodies are your own", "Dear Muslim Students, you will be respected here".

The labeling of people for me is also a form of discrimination. Why we need "names" for a human
pemdas927 3 years ago
My wife is white and from Wisconsin. She is _white_. When my best friend and I were discussing white privilege, he used the example that blacks typically come from single parent homes. To me assuming that is any black person I meet is racist, but I replied "so is my wife" "not the point here. Blacks also come from low income housing". Again, another racist assumption, but I again replied "so did my wife." and again "not the point. They come from bad education." Again racist. Again applies to my wife. It only works when it benefits them. I am a firm believer in All Lives Matter. And whenever I'd say this, people would just counter w/ "you're just saying this so you can say 'White Lives Matter'." I said "no, I believe All Lives Matter. Whites, Blacks, Latino/a/x, Asian, and so on." When an article came out about an unarmed black person being shot by the cop is blasted all over the news and social media, I would find one about an unarmed Latino/a/x being shot at well.
pemdas927 3 years ago
If you really care about the injustices of the police, I'm helping you. I can't support any minority because of my skin and gender. My opinion and beliefs have no bearing because of my skin and gender. Assuming I am r.a.c.i.s.t, homophobic, mysogynistic, etc. because of my skin and gender _is_ racism by definition. Teaching children to avoid white people because they are white. Trying to keep a gap between whites and everybody else. Not everyone had the same upbringing you think they did. I know plenty of Blacks that have never been pulled over by a cop and doesn't fear them. Quit trying to analyze someone because of how they look. That is racism. Racism has nothing to do w/ "having power". It is hatred for another person because they look different than you do.

"All Lives Matter" is dismissive of the actual discrimination that Black people face on a daily basis. That's like saying "save the rainforest!" and someone responding "NO, ALL FORESTS MATTER." Sure they do, but the rainforest is the one that's in need of saving. All you're doing by saying "everyone matters" is detracting from a cause that NEEDS the attention you are trying to distribute evenly to everyone. Y'all need to stop.

Y'all can cry about it all you want, and give individual examples of specific people who have specific problems, it doesn't change the truth. WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT OPPRESSED AS A WHOLE FOR BEING WHITE, AND MEN ARE NOT OPPRESSED AS A WHOLE FOR BEING MEN. If you are poor and oppressed, if you are mentally ill and oppressed, if you are are oppressed individually for whatever reason you can come up with, IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE WHITE OR MALE.

How do you stop racism? Every one respect and be kind to each other. How do you keep racism going? See comments below about white males as an example. You can't just have one or two types of racism. It all needs to be gone. It's not any one's choice being born the way they are born. Personally, i think i'd have chosen almost any thing but human. Humans are just way too complicated. Hating eachother for such stupid reasons when we could just learn from each other, help each other, and create a wonderful world. Such a waste of potential the way things are now. :(

Those two teachers saw it in some stuff I wrote in creative writing assignment even though I was holding back to stick to the mold that was showed in my previous years.
