15+ Teachers Who Are So Cool, They Deserve the “Best Professor” Award

Research shows that professors spend a lot of time in meetings and about 30% of their time working on tasks that are unrelated to teaching. They put a lot of time and effort into working off-campus and during the weekends as well, and most of it is spent alone. That’s why it’s important for all the wonderful teachers to have some fun and silly times with their students to make up for those lonely days.

1. “A professor is taking care of a baby while the mother is busy with her exam.”

Bonus: Cool teacher stories

• My teachers last name is DiGiorno, so the first thing he says when he walks in on the first day Is “yes it’s not delivery. Now that that jokes out of the way for the rest of the year...” — [deleted] / Reddit
• Two of my friends and I had to fill out our schedules our senior year of college to keep our scholarships, so we all signed up for an intro to algebra class. After the first test, the teacher asked us to stay after. He said, “You guys are all EMACS, right? You’ve taken higher level math courses than I have. You have A’s, go study for your real classes.” — Jerzeem /Reddit
• Mr. DiGorno, 9th grade Latin. He wore a chain mail tie and a leather blazer, took us christmas caroling, and challenged a student to a light saber battle. Also could lift 400lbs around, and was a great teacher. — [deleted] / Reddit
• I had a highschool band/choir teacher who would get me out of class to hang out in her room, sneak me in the school when I came late, let me use her secret fridge and microwave, tell inside details about other teachers and be a genuine friend to me. — [deleted] / reddit
