Thoughts: The Kids of "Waiting for Superman" Make Me Want to Cry

I once had a teacher in 8th grade who everyone hated. For the sake of privacy let’s call him Mister K. He was a bit older. Gray hair and bags under his eyes. His face had a sort of droopy quality to it and he always wore memorably nondescript sweaters and herringbone shirts. But as I said, everyone seemed to hate him.

There were a lot of reasons why people claimed to dislike him. Either he gave out too much homework or was too easy. I heard that he was unfair and would mete out punishments on personal whims. Other people attacked his personal life, layering rumors about the campus regarding Mister K’s his ex-wife. Some people even said he used to ogle the girls.
