Interesting. A teacher I had a lot of respect for in high school was a male teacher (black as well if that matters). He was BY FAR the most strict of any teachers in the school. He stood at his door and locked it when the bell rang, you had to sit in the hall if you were late for his entire period. His standards were super high.

Interestingly, he ALSO organized large group events (including community / school events). I always thought he was strict because when you deal with huge groups of kids - you kind of need to be to keep things going in a good direction. He was loved.

He did get run out of the school though because he was supposedly "racist". Not worth getting into, but I had to laugh out loud as an alumni. He put on cultural events in the school cafeteria during lunch. I'm sure the twitter army that came for him had no clue about his actual background or teaching. He landed on his feet (thankfully)!
