A good teacher can make all the difference. Whether you're a kid going through grade school, or an adult pursuing higher education, the quality of your teacher will seriously impact how much you learn.
And it isn't just a matter of how good they are at their job, either! The amazing teachers and profs in this list show that kindness and consideration helps every student succeed.
It's always so important for kids to hear nice things from adults. Not just their parents, but their teachers, too. And this teacher really went above and beyond to help his student feel more confident with his own hair. So awesome!
I feel like this would just make students laugh more than anything. Which is probably a good thing when you're waiting for marks from a prof. Though, it won't change your reaction if you ended up doing badly.
I'm sure the students didn't love the fact that their break was interrupted by more learning, but this is probably for the best. Plus, having a lesson outdoors is always way more fun — not to mention that this is also a lesson in adaptation and perseverance.
When you think about it, a professor's entire job is to make sure students learn. Sometimes, this is what it takes. Only the real ones do this!
One thing I learned as an adult with teacher friends is that, they pay attention to who likes whom, and the people who work well together. I'm not at all surprised by this teacher's seating arrangement.
You can find lessons in the most unexpected places. Usually that's a bit more metaphorical, but in this case, that kid literally found a math lesson in an unexpected place!
Alcohol dependency is no joke, and while it's perfectly fine to day drink every now and then, seeing someone drink a beer at 8am is always gonna raise some eyebrows. I think this prof did the right thing.
This is a really cool idea because it teaches kids how to be considerate toward others. And let's be honest, this is something that a lot of kids in the world need to learn, like, desperately.
I love the fact that the prof took care of the baby so the student could take notes. Like, that's a real pro move right there. And the baby looks pretty content too!
You have to know you're doing something right if a kid talks about all the nice things you say to them when they go home. Those words will probably stick with that kid for a long time.
This is honestly so cute. Those early days in the pandemic were scary, but I'm sure teachers like this really helped a lot of kids out there.
Now that's a teacher who's with his students until the very end. Literally!
I bet those students had a lot of fun when they saw that video. Like, only teachers who will do literally anything to get a student to learn would do something like this.
This retired teacher hand stitched every single part of this periodic table blanket. This is probably, like, the most accurate representation of what life long learning means.
I swear, any teacher who says no to a random request like this must be heartless. I'm happy to see that some profs out there will bend the rules for students every once in a while.
Yeah, enough said. This professor is a superstar. Maybe not as big of a star as Jordan Peele, though.
A good professor won't let any student spend the holidays alone if they can help it.
Well, I guess this teacher is more of a porch guest. But this is still pretty awesome. It just goes to show that some teachers wouldn't let lockdown stop them from making sure their kids learned.
It's good that this teacher learned this so early on in her career. You literally never know what could be happening in a student's life, so showing them compassion every day is kind of a must for teachers.
Little things like this can really go a long way for a student. Like, this is honestly such a thoughtful gesture.
