… and then one parent complained, and the admin micromanaged the teacher for the rest of the year.

It was college, not elementary school.
Happens there too
all good then
I remember, in university, at the start of a Latin American History class the lecturer walks in with boxes and straight up asks, "SO WHO WANTS TO DO COCAINE?!?"
Then proceeds to take out coca leaf tea bags, offers everyone a cup, and explains how she was intentionally wrong in her statement to highlight a big issue. She explained the Native use of coca leaf, and how they have suffered from people using their sacred herb in concentrated and illicit ways.
She also gave me a box to take home, because I said it helped with my stomach cramps (medical issue), and it really did. No addiction felt either.
With some teachers you can really tell how passionate they are.
I will now dream of getting to do this
I brought a bunch of coca tea bags back from Bolivia with me years ago.
It's great for altitude sickness.
My senior class in high school, the French and History teachers got together to plan a senior trip to Canada post-graduation, with stops in Montreal and Quebec. They let us have beers (on our own dime) if we wanted since the drinking age up there was 18, and one of my history teachers even offered a few of us Cuban cigars the last night of the trip since there was no embargo in Canada but we couldn't cross back into the US with them. Was a pretty good time.
We were warned the Quebecois could be kinda douchey to non-native speakers, but I found the whole trip was pretty chill, and as long as you were at least trying to speak French to them, they were more than accommodating for directions and help. Was a really memorable trip, 20+ years later still a very fond memory. Good teachers are great.
That's wholesome!
I generally have a pessimistic opinion of these sorts of things being entirely made up for the likes/upvotes/shares, but some of them I at least wish/hope that they are true.
This is one of them.
My take is that, even if it's fiction, if it inspires someone else to do something similar then that's a net gain in the world.
Exactly. Well said.
Don't make me dance
Why? Do you fear to dance? You know what the cure to that is?
Exposure therapy! No more fear! Time for dancing!
Dude, wake up! You shit the bed.
That's one international language.
I had a high school friend who's dad was an Arabic language professor. He apparently once read a text to class so boring that he fell asleep while doing it.
I hope your teachers just doesn't dump a list of vocab that you must learn without any context. This isn't an effective method to learn new words.
Instructor? Military college?
