    Is he still working there?
    Damn!

    I have 2 kids in High School, I hope they are a bit more motivated where they go!

    I HAD HIS MATH CLASS WHEN I WAS IN THE 10th GRADE. HE FAILED ME AND GAVE ME AN F-.I STILL THINK HE IS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I EVER HAD.

    I, by some bizarre circumstance, know a shit load of teachers, and they are all like that. When you ask them about teaching sober, it sunshine and unicorns and rainbows. Three to four drinks later, its all “Effing retards” or “Stupid sluts” or “Suicide is so easy”.
    Sad and hilarious all at once.

    i also thought this was sad. because he probably graduated the same year as me. we all swore we’d never be teachers and now look at us. a shame really.

    I didn’t think it was so sad. At least he’s married.

    Haberek! I was in your math class last semester! I failed that final! Oh and I miss your pretty marker colors :)

    I totally have him as a teacher!!

    I think he is really funny, but personally I don’t think he’s very good at teaching math… but he is a really awesome teacher nontheless!
