Double Standards at School
I once had a teacher at school, who everyone in the school feared.... BIG TIME!

Before starting the school, he had a reputation that every newcomer would hear about. He had an awesome temper, took no shit from anyone, and was known to be an all round general bad ass. He was the head of Resistant Materials, and was well known for chucking the unruly pupils (read: victims) in to the wood store room, telling them to stand on high piles of said wood, and told most to "stand there and watch the wood grow!". You really didn't cross the man.

However, if you were on his good side, he was always firm but fair.

Anyway, getting back to my point... his favourite phrase was "Don't do as I do, do as I say!". I'm pretty sure everyone was subject to his catchphrase, from smokers behind the sports hall to idiots messing on with wood and electric saws.

...yet he was always the biggest culprit!


Great teacher though!


Length? About 10 or 11 years ago.

There's a subject called ...
........................Resistant Materials!?!

I have been out of the education system too long. We used to have Metal Work or Wood Work when I were a lad.

Yes, Gordon Freeman studied it.
Oh, wait. That was Anomalous Materials. My mistake.

Same Difference
They just renamed it to give themselves some self importance, or some other crap like that.

It worked for Polytechnics.
They renamed themselves as "universities", despite not being anything of the fucking sort.
