That's what my friends call him. He's our hairy science teacher that we were stuck with on lockdown for a whole day. Yeah, he's THAT teacher. The one that everybody strongly dislikes. The old one. The one that makes you change your way of learning just for his class.
Okay, honestly? I have to admit I respect him. He puts us to work, he doesn't back down, and hey, he's alive! I still would prefer it if I had never met him, but I wish I had his ability to stand up to the population.
During lockdown, he made us do 100 jumping jacks, 20 push ups, and 30 sit ups. I know, that doesn't sound bad at all, really. But let me remind you... he's our SCIENCE teacher. After that, he gave us a 5 minute break to relax, then he assigned us to an essay on the Scientific Revolution and how it connects to the American Revolution. Due one week before any of the other classes. My friend constantly complained to him, and the whole class was complaining to him. We even wrote a petition against him (I know, cheesy and juvenile, but you have no idea what its like to be in a classroom with him for 8 hours).
Through all this, he didn't back down. He continued to stand up for what he had us do. I mean, we are his students and he has an assignment for us. Yes, all of the other classes watched about 5 disney movies and played board games. And I hate him just as much as the next person. Yet, I respect him.
It's called a strongly dislike-respect state of mind.
