[quote=Anonymous]Mr. Ron Bombick at BCC.  Chair of the science department for awhile.  Treated his students like smart adults.  Assigned interesting books for reading and discussion in addition to normal biology class -- Beautiful Swimmers and The Mismeasure of Man -- suggested NIH lectures to attend outside of class, etc.  Questions always allowed and not poked fun at.  Positive, optimistic personality who found a way to rule the classroom without using constant crankiness, fear, or making the students walk on eggshells. In fact, I heard after I graduated that as head of the department he took on just one such science teacher (who ruled by fear and put-downs and drove a lot of interested, capable kids away from science).  I liked him so much I went on to talk a full year Anatomy and Physiology cat-dissection class with him in HS instead of taking the normal Physics class.  Although I didn't go on to a career in medicine, he stoked a permanent interest in human biology that has served me well both professionally and personally.  [/quote]
