10 College Professors Who Deserve Tenure Like, Right Now

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.

i missed a class last friday and this was my professor’s response. if anyone needs me i’ll be crying. from teenagers

9. This is so sweet and thoughtful.

And definitely above and beyond.

I came out to my very religious family a few years back and haven’t been allowed home since. I just got this from one of my professors and had to share it with you guys. I’m 100% going! from HumansBeingBros

8. That is completely unacceptable.

You know those meal plans cost an arm and a leg, too.

7. How you know you’ve found the right job for you.

And everyone is the better for it.

6. When you don’t even have to ask…

That’s got to feel good.

My partner struggled with traditional school his whole life, so switched to a trade program last year. Today, he got this message from his professor. from MadeMeSmile

5. When you find a like mind…

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

4. A sense of humor goes a long way.

And your students are more likely to learn if they like you.

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!
