Unofficial Poll: GITT and tell me the grade you and/or your

Interesting guy. Think super cheezy/super sleezy 70's guy who never left the 70's. Glasses, collars, bell bottoms, polyester, type. He would grab a desk and turn it around at the front of the class, sit down, and talk. You either listened and took notes, or flunked. There was a book but he never used it. He had no notes, just talked. And he knew every date, every name, literally had western civ memorized.

Rumor was he was about to give his dissertation for his PhD and quit, so he wasn't a "doctor". ALSO, he was called "coach" (name redacted) because he was the girls basketball coach. I say WAS, at one time. Still went by "coach". Rumor also has it he grabbed a few butts in "celebration" and also asked one senior to marry him, so he was relegated to full time history teacher. Icky level was like 10+. But a heck of a history teacher. Recall a paper on "the Hebrew's reverence for Yahweh", and I had no clue who Yahweh was. Ended up at the USC library researching that paper.

Coach Willie was my PE teacher in 6th grade.

Mr. Greene taught mechanical drawing in 7th grade.

Mr. Gardner taught a class in 8th grade where we went to the elementary school and did student-teaching. Can't remember what that was called.

Coach Lawson taught SEX-ED. He was your classic heavy-set old school coach who wore those impossibly tight BIKE shorts. Wore whisle around his neck 24/7.

Mr. Forgothisname taught "Project Adventure" in 8th and 9th grade (basically a ropes course turned into a class, where we solved puzzles and smoked cigarettes)

Coach Stogner taught sociology in 11th grade (he's the DC at Chapin now, IIRC)

Mr. Alsoforgothisname taught fire-fighting and autocad. This dude was a trip. We were on block-scheduling, so we had four 90 minute classes each day. I had him for first block... the autocad computer lab was in a separate building with the mentally challenged kids. He told us that if we finished our drawings for the week, we didn't need to go to his class, so just tell him ahead of time, he'd mark us present, and we'd go straight to second block at 9:30.

Mr. Meyers teach a class called Sports Marketing that I took in 10th grade. We played fantasy football all year.

I had a guy teach Introduction to Engineering. He was an old electrician. We watched This Old House episodes and learned how to wire up switches and outlets.

I had Coach Spires for PE in 12th grade.

Coach Torbett for Statistics in 11th grade.

I had Mr. McAdams teach C++ 1 and C++2 in 11th and 12th grade.

I actually had a ton of guy teachers, now that I think about it.
