If you're teaching science, and really know and enjoy your subject, you should be able to teach lots of students what the subject really is, without acting like a teenager yourself

I don't agree with the views of the kid here at all; I agree with some of the views of the teacher; but frankly they both acted like schmucks, and as a result lots of people waste time in court. It's stupid
