I will guarantee you my friends and I would have had him in tears and and screaming obscenities at us by the third day. Kids are merciless at that age toward something like this.

"I will guarantee you my friends and I would have had him in tears and and screaming obscenities at us by the third day."

And I will guarantee you that had you done that in the high school I attended, you'd have been on suspension for as long as it took to make you stop.

That our schools will tolerate that sort of disobedience by students is a big part of the problem. Yes, the guy's wierd, but which of us did not have some wierd teachers?

The kids will get through this all just fine. The teacher's not a child molester...he's just a transsexual. Stupid, yes, but there it is.

Kids who torment him should be suspended. If they continue, they should be expelled.

My high school had old teachers that maintained a record of which class got a new teacher to quit in the fewest days.

My kid bothers class was 2nd all time (back in the 80s). They got a teacher to quit in two and a half days.

The all time record was from the 60s. That teacher did'nt make a day.

The worst I ever did was throw a string of fire crackers under a teachers desk. He must have cleared three feet when they started going off. That and I wrote 'You're Fired' all across the blackboard of a teacher who had'nt been told he was fired yet (we knew). He tried to flunk the whole class.

Memories.
