LJ Idol week 12: Some Assembly Required

[waveform_delta]

Of all my teachers, none had a name as unfortunate as that of my middle school shop instructor: Mr. Wacker. I trust I needn't elaborate on what a bunch of thirteen year olds could make of such a sobriquet. The possibilities were obvious and thoroughly explored

I had a 7th grade science teacher named Biddlecome. Pronounced bittle-come. All the kids called bitter... Well you get the picture ;)

I was scared of the shop tools, I ended up never using them. My teacher never noticed the boys making my projects for me!

Funny how childhood fears echo in our mind, don't they?

Your teacher sounds a lot like a computer teacher I had in 9th grade. Mr. Stiles. He was a very odd man.

Your memory of the fear overshadows the pride your should feel upon conquering.

You take me back to the days of shop and home ec -- both equally terrifying!
