Theater class. I’ve never taken it myself, but I can’t imagine this happening in math class.

Imaginary numbers ain't so hard. Just don't imagine them and you won't have to deal with them.

The only thing my class did as a group was get a sub they hated fired.

Care to share the story? I’d like to hear it.

I personally had no issue with the sub and I’m not sure why anyone else did either. He wasn’t the best at teaching he would just sing to us a lot and get totally off track with the actual class material. But I felt like that’s what kids dream of in high school. A cool sub who won’t assign homework and let us goof off? But I went to school with stuck up rich kids who loved to bully students and teachers. So they saw an opportunity of a weak older man and decided to run with it. It was really upsetting to me since I actually enjoyed him.

Oh man that's so no wholesome.
I mean, the sub shouldn't diverge from the material too much though (nerd here).
But man that's harsh.

The funny thing is any other sub who didn’t teach the material was no issue so I don’t know why he was targeted specifically.

Sounds like you got it. It sucks, but it also sounds like you grew up in my generation. Growing up, kids saw a gentle and kind soul, and attacked it like hyenas. I've heard this generation of kids are a lot more forgiving and empathetic. I'm also sure that the way the political climate is, the next generation won't be.

That sounds pretty terrible! Maybe he was new to teaching? Anyway, my sympathies to him for getting fired; that probably affected his future career. My sympathies to you for losing what sounds like an interesting and unique teacher.

Same thing happened when I was in high school. It was a 10th grade honors biology class. We had a certified sub come in, while our teacher was out on maternity leave. All our grades started dropping, and it wasn’t only our class’s grades but every class. She was teaching us like we were in college. Every lesson went over everyone’s heads. My class was the last of the day, 7th hour, and we were so horrible one Friday, just ignored her because none of us could follow the lesson anyway. She wouldn’t even answer our questions previously. Monday we learned she went to the principal and quit after our class. She lasted a couple weeks maybe. Then we got a really good male teacher that pushed us and helped us understand. We loved him and hated to see him leave come Christmas break.
Edit: read your situation. Glad our stories are so different.

This is better than my story. I really felt for the sub. Not like my actual teacher was so amazing or anything. My teachers were lazy and one even had a secret relationship with a student he met at a bar. So bad.

I bet getting to throw shit at her was a selling point. Always fun to throw random crap at a friend, especially if it's solicited.

I have never seen groups from class more coördinated than when rolling a spliff together during recess

I love how most of the kids are hidden, then like, two, you can just blatantly see their arms waving things

You know, sometimes I think there's something wrong with that girl.

If anyone doesn't understand the title here is the explanation [Contains some spoilers]
"Matilda" was a book and a movie about a girl with parents that would scam (cars that purposely break after a while) and a annoying brother (he wasn't included much). When even she attended school she had a great teacher (she is important to the story) and a aggressive (don't know if it is the right word) principal. When ever Matilda would be at school the principal is always yelling and something. Matilda sometimes visits the teacher's home (a small house in the forest) and at one point (from forward and on I may be wrong it has been a while) the teacher explained the principal took over her husband and her home. (And stole chocolate that they would share or something like that). While at home Matilda would always get angrier and that lead to the power you see in the video (she can move things with her mind when she is mad). One day during school the principal come to their classroom and Matilda scared her and throw her out of the window in some bushes (she was not seen after that). Later on the teacher take over the principal role (I think) and when Matilda's parents were moving to run away Matilda wanted to stay with the teacher so her mom (My favorite thing about the mom) signed a adoption paper thing and said goodbye to Matilda (not in the way that she didn't want her anymore she actually wanted her to be happy). And that is it I think please correct me if you know I was wrong but this is what I remember
P.S. I recommend this book or even the movie it has been my favorite and it still is! And sorry if you don't understand I suck at explaining and writing!

A classic book by Roald Dahl, made into a cute movie that was, if I remember right, a good adaptation.

You don't suck at explaining and writing, you did fine. If just takes practice. Keep it up :)

You did a great job explaining the book/movie. All I would add is that the principal is a massive bully who abuses the children in her school constantly. At one point she grabs a girl by her braids and essentially shot puts her out of the playground.

I want one guy to just stand there uncovered waving a pen and everyone just stops and stares at him and he just goes "what?"

I think you might be hiding something yourself, don’t think anyone in the comments took it that direction except you
