You know what? I like that. Not the substance, but the freedom he felt to be that weird. Having taught now 20+ years and seen all of the incentives push educators to disposable sameness, my reaction to weird old teacher stories is “yup, those were the days”
That's right. Whatever was going on with this dude, and he didn't actually punish anyone so people mostly ignored him, he did his own thing and the class is much easier to remember than some piece of packaged curriculum taught by a robot or a computer screen
He also really did a good job of teaching Great Expectations and the accompanying David Lean film, which I'll never forget, so kudos to that weird little southern man
Your hunch was spot-on, too that this was the kind of 80s/90s behavior that while weird was largely harmless, much like @ThottonMather mentioning her teacher using a yardstick to remove clogs
From the perspective of labor, beyond education, just labor full stop, to have the ability to be yourself at work under late period capitalism is such an unbelievable luxury that I’ve really come to romanticize even the strangest behavior I encounter from someone doing a job.
