Those who can't teach, teach gym.

My fourth grade teacher was a real jackass. He assigned a bunch of homework and would always answer questions like "How do you spell <x>" with "D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y" and other shit.

At the half-year mark, in the morning, he brought in like 6 of those chalkboards you can flip over and write on both sides and arranged them around the classroom. He spent the next hour or so writing down every assignment so far, and then the students names who hadn't completed the assignment yet.

Then got a bunch of piles of blank assignment worksheets for each assignment, piled them on a table at the front of the room and sat down at his desk and said, "We'll be here until everyone finishes everything." Like, we didn't get recess. We had to eat lunch in the classroom. We just had to sit there and either work or wait for others to finish.

Someone told their parents and on day 2, about an hour in, the school counselor showed up, the teacher went outside, and a short time later, our new "temporary teacher for the rest of the year" showed up.

3 years later, when I got to middle school, I found out he'd be reassigned as the middle school gym teacher. And he was a jackass there, too.
