My algebra teacher was an ex Army Airborne Ranger who hated kids, and probably people in general. Whenever I asked a question because I legitimately didn't understand why a formula worked the way it did, he would tell me to shut up. When i finally protested and said "I can't shut up because I don't understand!", he made me stand outside the door to the classroom for the rest of the period.

I had a teacher like this senior year, finally one time when she made me stand outside I just went out to the parking lot and drove away and never went back to that school. Switched to a virtual program and passed that way.

Wow, that's wild. There were no virtual programs when I was in high school, so that wasn't an option for me. It wasn't until several years later that colleges started offering remote learning programs by sending VHS tapes in the mail. Haha.

Yeah it was the early days of that kinda thing, went from a c-d student to an A student right away. Should've been working that way the whole time for me.
