17. Most of my teachers were pretty decent

Jan 2013

The worst ones by far were the PE teachers, most of whom were typical bad-ass ex-jocks. I do remember having one mild-mannered PE teacher, but it was for a science class, not PE. The next worst teacher was my band director, who seemed to have a special grudge against me for some reason.

I had one in sixth grade who threw a kid through a classroom window, desk and all. slackmaster Jan 2013 #1
