Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@DocBohn @golgaloth strong chance that most professors that do this have undiagnosed ADHD
Sin Vega@gsuberland @DocBohn @golgaloth now I am suddenly realising that my favourite teacher was like that because he definitely had adhd
gave no shits about handwriting. doing no homework was fine, if it was clear you understood or were trying to. Would answer any question about any subject as best he could. Loved a big ol conversation about whatever the class's thoughts were on the subject. Head of two departments and still wanted to do more. Never once raised his voice but would get super enthused
@gsuberland @DocBohn @golgaloth I refused a gcse exam in protest and when they tried to ambush me with it after I finished another exam, I refused to take it and just sat there.
He was invigilating, and confused. I explained I was protesting and he just said "Right", and gave me this smirk. Classic "I can't SAY I approve of this but we both know I do"
my man got a job doing what he loved and he was too damn good at it for anyone to stop him doing it the way that worked. A hero
