Bad school memory- from light to heavy

This stuff still goes on today - since he is no longer teaching, I will tell on my DS calculus teacher.

He developed a real animosity towards my son (and there was equal animosity going the other way) I think started because DS didn’t do his homework and still got A’s on the tests - learning the material via the problems worked in class. Since the class was supposedly taught like a college course, homework was not part of the grade - but it still infuriated the teacher that someone wasn’t doing the work.

Anyway, dear Son has an accident - and with a nasty infection that followed the surgery, he missed nearly a month of school. First day he walks in, teacher says - “it is about time you came back - here are two tests you missed - you have 60 minutes go”

DS got Cs on both tests - and a B+ in the class, missing an A by one point.
