Back in high school, I had the coolest teacher. It was at a different school in the district through an intra-district program, so I had no idea what to expect. Needless to say, the last 2 years of highschool were sweet (well, it was the only class i took at a high school, but it was still sweet).
It was for architecture, and the teacher (an architect) ran it more like a studio, and far less than a typical class. He let people do what they want, provided they actually did good work. Of course he would help, considering he had the expertise. However, you could go to burger king across the street, so long as you got him something (sometimes he would have students go there for him). He always let people go to starbucks, because he always got free coffees from the students, but god help you if he didnt have coffee.
He would always have music on fucking loud, especially stuff like trance. He was all into it, sometimes fucking with the lights to resemble a rave-esque environment.
If you slacked off too much though, he would just reprise like non. This one kid who was a failure must have been called a "fucking idiot" by the teacher more times than I can count. Also, it wasn't uncommon to hear a random "fuck!" or the like as he was working on a design.
When I worked with him on an architecture comp, I did most of the design, rendering, model building, photoshop/presentation shit, while he created this narrative about the building that was purely about sex and shit, he even took my girlfriend's last name, changed it a tiny bit, and she became the main character (but it was about sex and shit). Of course this was after endless jokes that were all about sex and were super witty. Never got that from a teacher before.
He also let me go skiing all the time. Since I only took classes at the community college like 2 days per week, he would let me ski a bunch. He even took it to another level. He owns an art gallery, so he decided he would sponsor me, riding for his gallery. Crazy.
of course there was tons of other shit that went on too
