I clicked for this bit:
"after saying i didn't undertsand, three times, to which the response was to get closer to my ear and repeat the same explanation with added spittle and dog-breath, he finally exploded 'for god's SAKE boy!! a trained MONKEY could do this!!!'"

I still don't understand how people who are apparently trained teachers can't grasp the concept that maybe they need to reword the explanation? It was French class for me when I found out that "I'm stupid, not deaf." is not the right answer.
