re: Why was your favorite teacher/coach your favorite?

Luckily I had more good teachers than bad. But having so many good ones, I don’t have a favorite - but one thing that all the good ones had in common is that they made it feel like they were happy to be in the classroom and teach us - never made us feel stupid, were there if we needed them - for school or not, and were willing to have days where they said ‘frick schoolwork - let’s talk’ or meditate or play a game or something
