When my oldest son was in high school, he had a social studies teacher for 10th grade that practially reveled in the number of students that failed his class. When he told me that my son was failing, and the only way he could see my son passing his class was to ace the final exam. I was so pi$$ed off, my son and I spent the next 5 nights reviewing a whole semester's work, answering all the questions in the book at the ends of the chapters. The final consisted of 200 questions; my son missed 2, and passed the class for the year.

This teacher could care less if students learned anything or not, just if the teacher could fail them!

Actually, it looks like the teacher did a pretty good job. You did score a 198 out of 200 on a test you would have probably flunked if the teacher's statement hadn't motivated you to study.
