Greek Mythology Professor (GMP): History can be a deeply satisfying area of study, provided you have the right teacher.
Class: *Nods in agreement.*
GMP: The problem I see a lot with new college students is that they're not inspired by history because they had bad history teachers in high school.
Class: *Nods in agreement.*
Me: *Slumps back in chair.*
GMP: You know what's the worst? The worst is having a history teacher who is also the school's phys ed teacher.
Class: *laughs*
Me: *Slumps further back in chair.*
GMP: Raise your hand if you had a history teacher who was also the phys ed teacher.
Class: *about 2/3 raises hand, myself included*
GMP: You, Ryan, was your history teacher any good?
Me: He was my dad.
*crickets chirping*

Posted by: Tim McGuire at March 17, 2005 01:54 PMHehe... Was he a phys. ed. teacher as well? Did the professor display any sort of remorse for his comments?
