When I was in the 8th grade, I had an "English" teacher who had a LAZY BOY RECLINER in the classroom! We didn't do anything ALL YEAR and if we talked too loud when he was trying to sleep in his recliner we had to write sentences. We had to write sentences a lot. Once, I told my mom, she called the school and the next day when everyone else had to write sentences "I will not be loud in class"... he came to me and said "you don't have to write any". HA! They knew he had a recliner in his classroom but never did anything about it. Needless to say, I learned nothing that year and went into High School 9th grade not knowing anything about English. TRUE story.
