Our academic lives were needlessly fraught with tyrannical, despotic excuses for educators who taught us more about fear than we ever learned about math. That's why it's important to remember that some of them are thoughtful people who care about what they do. This r/AskReddit post prompted users to share stories of teachers who they actually held a great deal of respect for, something not found in the halls of schools around the world as often as people might expect. The results? Redditors shared stories of teachers who didn't make them spend an unnecessary amount of money on textbooks, a high school English teacher who successfully pranked his own students harder than they ever could, and a science teacher who completely dressed down a bully.
Hey, sometimes teachers aren't so bad after all — one cited in these stories even brought an extra sandwich every day when they noticed a student sometimes couldn't afford lunch.
