6th or 7th grade...can't remember.

This lady was a witch. She hated all the kids who didn't have good handwriting. Mine was lousy so she hated me. My brother had her the next year and she hated him too. His handwriting was even worse than mine, so naturally she hated him even more than she hated me.

Witch had a handwriting fetish, I think, now that I look back at it. When my brother had her she sent samples of all her students' handwriting off to be analyzed. She then picked some out and read them to the class. When my brother went up to her and asked her 'what does mine say', the witch just sneered at him and said 'you don't want to know'. God, I'd love to cold-cock her for that one. Makes me crazy thinking about her talking to him like that. He was a little fellow, smart as a whip but small and not athletically talented, had a hard enough time as it was. If I ever run across her grave I'll definitely spit on it.
