My Lovely Horse posted:One year our biology teacher got divorced and was rendered completely unable to function day to day, let alone do his job, for the whole year. He'd show up when class started, take attendance, then retreat to a back room and leave us alone with the biology department's collection of educational VHS tapes for junior high students. More often than not he wouldn't come back and we'd wait for the bell and let ourselves out. Once we'd caught how this was gonna go on we started bringing our own movies from home. On a few occasions he wouldn't show up at all. I remember one exam that was just five or six basic questions scribbled haphazardly on a sheet. Poor guy, you know, but in retrospect, someone should have stepped in on that hard. We had a biology teacher leave his wife at the end of the school year and when I had her as my English teacher the year after she was a mess and we ended up watching a lot of movies in class while she was on the verge of tears. Also because they had to find a last minute replacement to teach biology I got to take it from a guy who’d been retired for a while who was clearly just doing a favor for some relative of his in the front office who gave zero shits and once gave us a diagram of a cell to fill in and gave us a word bank that was in the order of the questions and then made fun of a kid who filled in his scantron with pen. He was cool and he gave us extra credit for noticing extra stuff during the dissections.
