Yes, it is.
Why did you rant about “Bitter, jealous, angry leftist spews venom at Steph Curry”? If this teacher is telling his students to study, learn, and have a seriously executable plan (”I’ll be an NBA Player” is not a seriously executable plan), he’s doing his job.
You sound like a teacher I know who hates it when the Blue Angels fly over the city because the kids run to the window and look out.
