Hi keye, I’m not sure if you remember me, but I had you last year in algebra and the elementary stats at concord. I had transferred schools but was planning to return to concord and minor in math to take your classes. Crazy to say cause I hated math all my life up until your class. But you really made me love the subject and enjoy it. Honestly I’m so burnt out in every other subject maths the only thing I enjoy learning about. Anyways I heard they get rid of you at concord and wanted to reach out and tell you that you really changed the way I viewed math, and were one of my favorite and most impactful professors I’ve had. So In conclusion fuck them for getting rid of you.
I always remember the students that only show up for exams, and then have the nerve to insult me the few times they do show up, tell me how easy math is, and then write me ten minutes after the exam asking when they will be graded! It's great to hear from you Ragan, stay cool. :-)
Hi Keye, this is the “new” Taylor. I wanted to say thank you for being the only sane teacher that has made me understand math, or maybe I’m just stupid and can understand your insane ways of teaching. You made class the best part of my day when I decided to show up. I hope you get to come back if it’s not too late or whatever. Best wishes- The “new” Taylor.
Yo new Taylor, that video you made for the essay was funny af -- I hope you will keep working on comedy routines and jokes, because even if you only use it when teaching, it's a good thing to be good at. The world needs more funny in it. Take care.
Hi Keye, It really sucks that you won’t be at concord anymore. You were genuinely the best math teacher I have ever had and I appreciate that you cared so much about teaching and making the class environment enjoyable at the same time. I miss looking forward to going to class because I knew it would actually be fun to go to. I hope that if you want to, you can continue teaching math and lighting up other students day at some other college, they will appreciate you.
" I hope that if you want to" -- this is one of the things that stuns me, how many students can tell the effect this has had on me. Thank you for your help with my stupid 23/33 joke :-)
What’s good Keye, I’m that guy you recommended a couple of podcasts and all (awesome podcasts by the way). But I’m sorry all that dumb shit happen to you and all, but man I just wanna say it’s been a pleasure. Honestly one of the best instructor I’ve ever had to be fair. Whoever snitched on you are on some dumb shit just saying. But keep it real Keye! Hopefully we’ll get to see u sometimes later on down the road.
Also I really appreciate you for wanting people to think for themselves and independently, not many people are like that anymore, which is why you’re the realest.
Keye.. As an alumni of Concord now .. what a disappointment. You were hands down one of the coolest professors, not only cool but just damn awesome with the way you taught, while going above and beyond for myself & any student that reached out. You're a natural educator man, and beyond that... an actual human being. Not a robot... Rock on. #escapethematrix
I still remember that email you sent me when you got your wisdom teeth pulled, high af, lol. I miss you man. I still got that pic we took at your graduation too. Can't believe all the comments on here dude, the students are some brave motherfuckers. Stay real homie, and keep in touch.
Honestly, this is total bullshit. So they’re pissed cause you’re “unprofessional”. Let’s say they have a right to be concerned (which they don’t) why does that matter when you make such an impact on your students? I have always hated math. I never understood it and teachers pawned me off with D’s all year rather than help me. Your class is the only one I’ve ever loved. Not to mention that now I’m getting A’s on everything. Also, we aren’t children and they expect you to treat us as such but with a high demand that is placed on adults. Make that make fucking sense. We don’t need another artificial teacher. We can relate to you as an actual human being and not some random professor who thinks they’re god or something. Also, no one is going to class anymore because you aren’t there. Why would we when we enjoyed having you and we were actually fucking learning without being miserable and wanting to bash our heads against the desk. If you don’t come back, know you’re missed.
Thank you Mac, it's very kind of you to say those things. "...and wanting to bash our heads against the desk" -- I'm gonna steal that expression :-) P.S. I saw you subscribed with your university account, but a personal account is way better. First, it will still be valid after you graduate, and second, I'll be stunned if emails from me don't wind up on a blocked list soon. Hopefully you receive this message.
You're probably right. I just got pissed off and wanted to respond and didn't think. But I did receive the message. Also, I'm curious. Do you want to come back. Because honestly, if I were you, I think I'd want to say a big fuck you to Concord.
You know Mac, I'll tell you straight, all week long I'd been thinking if they asked me to come back, I'd give them a list of things they had to do before I would, and then last couple days started realizing, I really don't trust them. This is the third semester in a row they pulled something like this. This will sound weird, but here's how it is: let's say you find out your spouse is cheating on you or something like that, and it alters your entire perception of reality. What list of things could you require of them before you would trust them again? For me, the answer is that there is no list. But maybe they can think of something that I haven't. I don't know.
Keye is the only teacher that I've ever gotten an A in math with because he made it fun and I was able to relax enough to learn. This breaks my heart for others like me who can't learn under traditional format. He understood the things I was struggling with and he was encouraging. I always felt comfortable in his class and outside of his classes with him. I genuinely wish more professors were like him because it would be easier to talk to them about school and life without feeling like I'm being condescended too by someone with a superiority complex. It's a sad day for academia when we lose a teacher who can relate to students on a personal level and teach a classroom full of non mathing individuals to math for once. I whole heartedly disagree with the administration's decision to do this as I feel they have lost an actual asset to the college. Even as a Christian student keye never offended me or made me uncomfortable there is a mutual respect between keye and his students, he has his beliefs and we have ours. He always made serious matters laughable because he understood that taking things too serious is toxic for mental health and he let us choose our own paths without feeling pressured. He gave us the choice of free will but in his own way encouraged us for success. I originally wrote this as an email. I never got an a in math all during middle school, highschool and college but I got my first a with a 98 in Keye's class because he could make math simple instead of so complicated and long that I didn't get it. Keye, I know you're gonna read this but you're the best teacher I've ever had because you're real and you're not gonna bs me.
P.S. I saw you subscribed with your university account, but a personal account is way better. First, it will still be valid after you graduate, and second, I'll be stunned if emails from me don't wind up on a blocked list soon.
The jokes were a plus for sure, but the reason I wanted to come to class was the atmosphere you created for us. You're like robin Williams in the dead poets society

DAMNNNNNNN this comment section is gonna make me cry! I literally skipped class today because I wasn’t ready for mandatory attendance and some boring lecture that I can read from the textbook. They don’t even bother to make it seem interesting. Now I really know what people mean when they say it’s the professor that makes the class good or not. Keye, your are the best example I can give. We all miss you and want you back. I now have nowhere to go between classes and my motivation to get homework done is down the drain. I just don’t want to do anything else anymore. Hell, I never stay up this late on weekdays. I think everything’s starting to go downhill from here and idk when it’ll get back up. Also Keye, I didn’t know the last time would be the last time so here goes: YOU’RE FUCKING UGLY KEYE! 😭 I guess that party really was your death date and we jinxed it. By the way, that presentation I was stressing over for CU Foundations, I think I was the best person in there, like I actually talked to the class and I could 10/10 stand in front of another class and just talk! This entire comment goes everywhere, it’s 2 in the morning and there’s only one good thing that may be going my way. Everything else is just not. Oh yeah, you had mentioned messaging on Substack? I can’t find that. I will be on here about once a week to vent about Dr. Popavich and English class.
I think it's super interesting that my last day there was the infamous "deathday" party. If you pretend that it's about someone else, it makes for a cool story.
Imagine if all it took was throwing a death date party for Dr. Popavich to get him out of here! But who would even bother to set up a party for him? Not me.
Guess what!? Apparently Dr. Popavich was covering for Dr. Tigga. Dr. Tigga is back now so I don’t have to deal with Popavich anymore! Starting tomorrow I won’t be seeing him. No more ankle problems!!!
LMAOOO! If I do, I’ll make sure I’m in a lab with flammable chemicals. And if need be, I can burn the school down if he gets onto me about my god damn ankles!
I deadass made an account for this just to type all of this but Keye I know I never really said much during class and would always stare into space but I was always listening to what was happening and I loved hearing what you had to say. It was always so unhinged but you keep it real and you’re very inspirational to me. If u don’t come back just know that you’re a great teacher and I loved your class. Fuck those dumb bitches that complained about you they’re lame fr <3
Thank you for honestly being the best teacher I’ve ever had. Maybe I should post my list of “Keyes sayings” on here along with your f*ck count… just a thought.
Good thing is I now have an orange expo marker for life since Concord kicked you to the side. Miss you!
I would love it if you would post all that, it would be awesome, please do! And I'm not dead yet motherfucker. I'm sending a team of people after that damned marker, I want that shit back. By the way, I miss you a lot <--- this part is not a joke.
Holy shit, this comment section went south quick. My honest first thought when Riley showed up was "Oh shit, there goes the neighborhood." Feels like last semester, which makes it awesome.
How you managed to have a class in the first place is a mystery.
Hi keye, I’m not sure if you remember me, but I had you last year in algebra and the elementary stats at concord.

Also if ur looking to teach math come to Marshall(thats where I currently go) I need a good math professor
Wow just like the other Ten Commandments. I got a few
things right, a few things to work on, and I think a couple things on the list are just there for a laugh.
Hi Keye, this is the “new” Taylor.

Geez Keebz, and all this time I thought you just liked the class for the jokes. Just kidding, I never once thought that. <3
The jokes were a plus for sure, but the reason I wanted to come to class was the atmosphere you created for us. You're like robin Williams in the dead poets society

LMAOOO! If I do, I’ll make sure I’m in a lab with flammable chemicals. And if need be, I can burn the school down if he gets onto me about my god damn ankles!
Peace out. ✌️
we’re gonna see on the news about substacks downloads increasing by double just from everyone coming to talk to you
DO NOT WATCH THE NEWS! :-)
eh i don’t anyways, hurts my 2 brain cells
I deadass made an account for this just to type all of this but Keye I know I never really said much during class and would always stare into space but I was always listening to what was happening and I loved hearing what you had to say. It was always so unhinged but you keep it real and you’re very inspirational to me. If u don’t come back just know that you’re a great teacher and I loved your class. Fuck those dumb bitches that complained about you they’re lame fr <3
Sorry you never got to try the popcorn, but it meant a lot to me that you stopped by the day of the surprise party.
Are you serious? “ does the trolling ever stop” fuck no. Put your glasses on and start a revolution or some shit.
Here’s an actual representation of Keye 👇🏻

LMAOAOAOAO
Omg that is so fucking hilarious. I'm bringing that one with me to hell.
Maybe you’ll have perfect vision in hell
i’m gonna blast baby shark through the buildings all day until they promise to bring keye back
I’ll send you Willas Disney and Snoop Dogg affirmations playlist
Omg I had to google that, that is FUCKING HORRIBLE. Those poor kids are gonna be fucking idiots!
You think that’s bad? Listen to Said Sum by Moneybagg Yo
Ewww.
may not have his glasses on but he can see through the bs
Damn Riley, you know it's bad when your best friend is taking my side.
Also, they are coming out with a second Grinch movie. Just in time for you to watch it since you have all this free time now
Enjoy this video of the grinch :)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bV68ztH70Xw&pp=ygURdGhlIGdyaW5jaCBxdW90ZXM%3D
P.S. I mentioned the whole Grinch thing in earlier substack post called "Everybody dies at the end"
Damn, does the trolling ever stop with you? Fuck that movie. :-)
Thank you for honestly being the best teacher I’ve ever had. Maybe I should post my list of “Keyes sayings” on here along with your f*ck count… just a thought.
Good thing is I now have an orange expo marker for life since Concord kicked you to the side. Miss you!
R.I.P. Keye 🤘🏻🖕🏻✌🏻
I would love it if you would post all that, it would be awesome, please do! And I'm not dead yet motherfucker. I'm sending a team of people after that damned marker, I want that shit back. By the way, I miss you a lot <--- this part is not a joke.
Things Keye has said this semester that would be concerning to everyone not in his class:
January 9- said fuck 12 times
January 10- said fuck 6 times
January 11- 7 times
January 13- 18 times
The planet is in trouble because it is overpopulated with people who don’t think
If you are talking to morons they will believe you, that’s the story of statistics
January 17 - said fuck 26 times
January? - 31 times
January 20- 8 times
January 27- 21 times
What’s that in his mouth? I didn’t mean that the way it sounded
Oh, for fucks sake I don’t want to be here- Keye yelling at the computer
Everything’s going to hell - Keye aggressively smacks his face
THEY NEED TO BE ELIMINATED FROM THE FUCKING GENE POOL
Man I just want to jump off a fucking bridge right now
Day? - 4 times
FUCK CHIPMUNKS - Keye yelling
Keye with an imaginary finger gun - loads the gun and shoots himself
Keye yelling - It’s my job to create chaos and “ SPHEWWWWW” it everywhere - Keye throwing hands in the air
February 20 - 12 times
He’s retarded because he thinks he's a fucking dinosaur and that fucking idiotic
I haven't laughed this hard all week. Thank you Riley <3
You’re welcome
uh oh keye that marker may not be age appropriate🤣🤣
Holy shit, this comment section went south quick. My honest first thought when Riley showed up was "Oh shit, there goes the neighborhood." Feels like last semester, which makes it awesome.
“FUCK CHIPMUNKS”
- Keye
Yep, I said it.
