If you’re someone who has been to college (or sent kids to college) then you know that you have certain expectations for the professors who are getting paid to deliver that super expensive education – and that there are way too many teachers who don’t even seem to be trying to meet them.
That said, there are always the ones soaring right past the bar, too, and these 10 professors seem to be examples of exactly how it should be done.
10. Self care is important.
More teachers need to recognize this and encourage it.

And you’re too excited to keep it to yourself.

1. Bless his or her heart.
Because textbooks and university bookstores are such a giant scam.
Seriously, just because your students are adults and you (hopefully) won’t have to hear from their parents doesn’t mean you can phone it in!
