Professors Hall of Fame

Being a teacher is the mightiest role designed to help craft great people, with

or without profession. Teachers nurture curious minds that will maneuver for

a better future. Exactly, students will remember them for the rest of their lives

because they owe them the thing that no one can steal—education.

Nevertheless, this is not the case of the instructors who make their graceful

way to the hall of fame. They are the types who break one’s impression with their

conduct inside the classroom. Listed down, these types of teachers play a titanic

role in a student’s stay in school:

Professor Abstraction

Do you remember, when we sometimes wonder where our instructor’s mind wanders at a given time? Is it

flying across the classroom

or even farther than Magellan’s voyage? Is he or she time travelling again, maybe

in some part of an ethereal community or else a part of a war this time? No one knows where. Their power of failing your grade is as slim as your chance to be

together with your crush. They impart you a little knowledge because they spend much of their time daydreaming than teaching you how to perfectly boil an egg.

Professor Booklah

The name gives you an impression of something grand but it is somehow

literal to say that this kind of professor relies only on books. “What is stated in

the book is what you only get, guys. Ask no further inquiries about it. Any clarifications for your confused

minds, just consult the book and not us. For crying out loud, we are not the ones

who make the solutions of that problem, so do not ask too many questions. You

better study all about it because

I will conduct a quiz and activity next meeting based on what is asked in

the book. Goodbye, class!”

Professor Solicitor

This is a serious case. It

is obvious that collecting

money without legal

or institutional basis is a

form of greed from money.

They target naive students.

Students are obliged to give

money without any considerable

reason at all. We

sometimes indistinctly hear

the sound when they open

their palms for money.

P.S. You might cause them

to wail if asked too much

questions.

Professor Don Juan

They are “we like babes but

babes don’t like us” kind

of instructors. They like

love girls and, accordingly,

it is their obligation

to pass through them all.

Well, not all, but most of

them. Moreover, they find

men despicable and annoying for

the sole reason that they are men,

no further explanation needed.

Behold, gentlemen!

This kind of teachers is your

demise and doom personified.

Rejoice, mademoiselle! For

your grades will be saved

only by their grace.

Professor Fast Talk

“Ifcertaininformationisimportantto...” This kind of Profs almost never put pauses in and between sentences. It is either he or she is in a hurry or it is just your slow-functioning brain which cannot catch up each and every word spurt in out of his or her mouth. It is the latter that the “Fast Talk” kind of lecturers prefer. Do not dare ask this type of teacher to slow the pacing of the speech because it is an insult to his or her tongue’s “no brakes and clutches” motto. What is more, whenever you clarify on how they do it, ask not or you will be facing a lasting mean face with his or her familiar phrase “You should study sometimes.”

Professor Ironic

Perfection is their motto.

Teachers rectify the mistakes of the

students but they also commit those mistakes. Yes! It is ironic and there are a lot of them. We tend to silently laugh at them whenever they lecture

about what is right from wrong because it is a wrong move to show them that they are wrong. However, the good news is that their power on failing your grade is rated 3 over 10. Do not even goad to correct them straight to their faces

if you do not want the chances of failure to boom over 10.

Professor Righteous

“No one should correct me or my ways

of teaching! I am always right!” When you hear that phrase, you wish someone should have zipped up their mouths and

put their noses back to their business.

Even if the topic is debatable, you have

to force yourself to agree on what your

prof believes in. It is your word against

their opinion and you do not even want to share your thoughts because your right to raise your concerns is already stomped. What they say is what you get, no further question should be asked.

Period.
