Looked like a pretty spry old coot to me.
I would have liked to see him really lay a smackdown on that punk kid.
Good thing my strapping giant of a son wasn’t in that class.
TJ was an excellent student who was always respectful to teachers. If he had a disagreement with a teacher, he would argue it academically and logically. His teachers learned early on not to push an agenda because he would call them on it immediately and refute them with facts.
He was so good at history and current events, that one first-year teacher was beside herself by Christmas break. She would start her lesson and half the class would swivel in their chairs to see if my son agreed with what she said. Because he was always polite and his facts were always accurate, he never got in trouble.
But assault a teacher with a chair, especially an elderly man?
TJ would have gone viking on his ass. Kid would have been eating through a straw when he was done.
70 isn’t that old anymore.
