    when they saw something was bothering me, theyd ask if i was ok. and they wouldnt be like- you dont have to say anything if you dont want to, but how is your life? is your fmily doing ok? when they say that, first of all, they are forcing me to spill my life story, second, they give the impression that they dont want to hear what youre going through, they just want your parents to tip them well.

    stanleyc….if your favorite teacher used a ruler or belt, what did your worst teacher use. An axe?

    I had a rebbe in elementary school that I never saw get angry. (When he had to he would put on a really good act) and then was completely calm immediately afterwards.) this was just one of his great qualities. He incidently was the only rebbe I remember slapping me (out of love, which I was able to recognize).

    eclipse- my worst teacher was the one who was nice and was a good teacher. thats not what school is supposed to be about

    Stan- there is nothing wrong with a nice teacher who can keep control and teach well, doesn’t mean they should be your friend but its fine to be nice

    My favorite teacher from high school is my friend now. She wasn’t at the time, but we stayed in touch after I graduated and she told me that since I wasn’t her student anymore, I could call her by her first name. We are very close now.

    stanleyc…which communist country did you grow up in?

    To not even be traumatized you can’t possibly be American!

    unconditional love

    I don’t believe it. A teacher cannot have unconditional love for a student that they teach for a year or two.

    Can a parent have unconditional love for a child they raise for a year or two?

    There’s a mitzvah Doraysoh of Veahavta Lereiacha kamocha that obligates us to love a Jewish stranger we just met with unconditional love. So its possible to do it from the first instant you meet someone.

    Yes, I do think so. It is a natural instinct, because they are part of you.

    WIY: Oh.

    A fantastic sense of humor, respect of my religiosity, and genuine desire for me to grow as both a student and a person. They weren’t afraid to accept me as I was and use that as a baseline to mold me into my full potential instead of something that I wasn’t and hope to never be.

    Hooray for awesome teachers!
