Let me relate a story about a teen age boy in Wyoming: The smart alec kid thought he had the world by a string his freshman year of highschool. He promtly flunked freshman english which was being taught by a new teacher who had a problem keeping control of the class. Enter another english teacher, one who had worked for this boys dad the previous summer assembling farm equipment. A teacher who was also the football/wrestling coach. One who went by the name of "Moose" and lived up to it. At the semester the freshman english classes were broken up and the biggest trouble makers were sent to one class with "Moose" as the teacher. This certain teen age boy thought he could smart off to "Moose" as they were buddies. The words had hardly left my, oops, his mouth when I, oops again, he was grabbed by his shirt collar and slammed against the black board so hard it knocked the wind out of him. Surprising thing, that kid ended up taking an extra year of english as he found out he sort of liked it.
