I listed only the teachers I liked (though there are a few more I can't remember their names).
Except for one- Mrs Bernstein. I probably remember her bc of the dislike, and maybe imprinted bc despite my dislike I was shocked when after being called out of the room she returned practically gray-white faced. She'd just been informed that JFK had been shot!
Much more pleasantly in my 7th grade I had an African-American, or African-Caribbean Woman Science teacher. This was ?1967; so it might have been unusual for the time; though that didn't occur to me.
The one "bad" thing was the time she opened a plastic bin of what I called "swamp water" (had little plants in it). Well, it stank!!! Half of us moved to the back of the classroom trying to get away!!! 😄😬
This was so she could put a drop of it on a slide for the microscope. I can remember seeing a paramescium.
The coolest experiment was was using a device that split water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. So at the top were 2 nozzles; each one having a balloon attached to it.
Water = H2O. So twice the hydrogen, to the oxygen. Thus the hydrogen balloon blew up twice as big as the oxygen one.
In Art College I took Comparitive Religion which was really interesting. This was ?1972. Our teacher was a Quaker; who also was The Draft Counselor, during the Vietnam War.
We visited a Jewish Temple, some ?Christian Church, a Buddhist Temple, up to his hometown for a Quaker's meeting, Dorthy Day's _________ ?Catholic Workers house, The Japan House (near the UN) for a Tea Ceremony: Zen Buddhist, and Shintoism. One of the lovelist parts was it taking place in a traditional paper, and wood slatted walled room.
I don't think we went to a Hindu Temple, and definitely not a Mosque.
It was a great course!
