Our class teacher once allowed the whole class to camp in her garden when we were like 15. We'd grill and play with her little kids. The only rules were basically no alcohol or any other drugs, stay safe and behave.
It was such a great time and she was very beloved.
A couple of years ago we randomly met me at a bookstore and addressed me with my full name and the hugest smile before I even saw her. It's been almost 20 years and knowing someone remembers you like that makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
I went to a super small private high school and we had a few moments like these. There was the time we had a final exam at our teachers house a block from school because her cleaning lady was coming and she needed to be home, and the time when our math teacher invited us to her house before a big test she knew we weren’t ready for so she could tutor us (only four of us in the class). She baked cookies and everything. High school was amazing.
