year 7 geography
I won't mention his name here... but rest assured, he was awesome.
the first lesson I had with him went as follows:
-forced everyone to line up in complete silence
-put everyone in a seating plan
-pulled out a meter stick and began idly thwacking it against his free hand whilst looking menacing...
-discarded it, grinned and loaded up a powerpoint. it only got better from there.

so, stuff I still remember from his lessons, based on how purely awesome they were:
from maps from memory: the middle band of US states (north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, kansas, oklahoma and texas) and the location of delaware, the one nobody could remember. the rather awesome incident in an early lesson where the state in question was indiana, nobody knew it so he gave us a hint... 'hat and a whip.' what did someone immediately shout? santa. he proceeded to very slowly stand up, walk over to the cubboard at the back of the room, get out a santa hat and put it on. 'do I bloody look like the kind of person that would use a whip?'

(in stark contrast to this, year 8 geography. teacher from hell. he was as old as time itself and once gave someone a detention for scratching their nose. I had the same guy for ICT in year 9, wherein I managed to outsmart him. I'm still somewhat smug about this)

so yeah.

No
It was the stick you use for beating time to the rhythm of your poetry.

You know you're in for a good time
when it's a powerpoint presentation.

What the fuck
does a hat and a whip have to do with Indiana? Mennonites? Slave driver Lincoln? What?
