I've been scarred for life!

Mr. Hinkleday, Modern World teacher this semester, has been a really nice guy for most of the time I've been in his class.

But today, when nobody was doing the work they were supposed to do, he just EXPLODED!!! I mean, I can understand him being upset, but yikes, overkill much?

Then of course he added a little more of a jarring effect by kicking a chair loudly across the room after his big monologue. Either he'd *really* had a bad day or he *really* hates the class...

I hope the former...

Gods! I was shaking for the rest of the class! I know he wasn't yelling at me, 'cause I was working, but still...

I really hate being in the presence of people yelling like that, whether it's directed at me or not.

I'm scared to go into that classroom tomorrow...

Ahh...that sometimes happens. Teachers who are nice all the time end up bottling all their anger up...and, then...KABOOM! But...yeah. ^^

Hope tomorrow is better...*hugs*

Oh yeah...I remember Hinkleday. He would have days like that sometimes. Talk about male PMS.

I'm married to a teacher, so I can speak with some authority on this subject. Good teachers don't enjoy going off on their class, but sometimes they just have to get people's attention. This guy sounds like a good teacher, and I'm sure he went home feeling bad about losing it, because he knows there are students like you in the class who actually do work. Things should be back to normal in class tomorrow.
