While the definition of a good teacher varies from person to person, we can’t deny that those who are have a funny way of remaining in our memories, even after many years. I bet that even reading this sentence made you think of a figure that made the ticking seconds at school much more bearable.
To pay homage and show their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, Bored Panda has collected some of their most wholesome and heartwarming moments. From gifting plants to drawing cats of the day, these special gestures make students appreciate them even more.
While you’re busy admiring these awesome teachers, don’t forget to check out a conversation with Bryan Davis , a former teacher and life coach, and Dr. Sonaleena Patnaik Lowry , an educational consultant, who kindly agreed to elaborate on what it means to be a good pedagogue and how we can support them.

When she took him out to hold him, my professor insisted that he wouldn’t mind feeding the baby and rocking his car seat until she was done. This is my so awesome, sweet professor, on his knees.

They chatted, read books, and just talked. This woman has five kids at home and still, she sat in my driveway for an hour to make sure Hannah was okay.

I’m so appreciative of how hard this woman works to teach her students about more than just academics. She is a strong and beautiful person (whose permission I requested before posting).

The goal was to show my students that if they continue to grow their skill set and stay in the arts, then their ideas have no limit.

On the last day of school, she gifted him with a drawing from her father who she said worked as an animator. He did this especially for my son, who is a Batman fanatic. Left me speechless.

Here he is giving a copy to one of his teachers who helped him along the way.

He draws an insanely realistic face, and when I tell him how awesome it is, he says he likes to draw. He also likes comics so we talk about the Green Lantern Corps because his favorite artist does the comics until his bus is called. Today, he immediately went to the board when the bell rang and started drawing. His bus was called in less than ten minutes yet he was able to do this. I’m going to take pictures of all his doodles this year and give them to him in a book at the end. I hope it reminds him to keep doing what he loves.

Listening to and watching him teach “The Odyssey” by Homer is a true gift. He’s been teaching it for decades, and yet he has the passion and excitement for the text as if it’s the first time. These kids have no idea how lucky they are.

So this morning, he took out his phone, opened Neko Atsume, and drew a “substitute cat”. I love this teacher.

My classroom “Care Cart” has changed and evolved over time. I saw a TikTok video about teachers’ “Care Closets” and knew my students needed one too. With community donations and my school’s support, I continue to provide my students with extra resources throughout the school day. Spread kindness.

I put off graduate school because I didn’t feel smart enough to successfully complete it. Six months ago, my life fell apart. I lost everything and applied 3 weeks before the deadline because I needed a win.

I’ve been working hard on self-improvement after discovering I have ADHD as an adult, and this means the world to me after almost 2 years in my master’s program. The note says: “Very thorough. Your writing has improved a lot. Better organized & clearer. Well justified”.

For additional context, in previous schools, I went through “not-nice stuff,” which led to me seeing teachers as those scary authority figures. To paint a proper picture, when one finally treated me like a person who can have problems and not a weirdo, I could barely speak from shock. This e-mail is like a physical reminder that things really got better for me. I don’t need to be scared anymore. I am very happy and simply wanted to share it with someone.
