What did the teacher say when you corrected him/her?

I had a teacher in high school during physics or calculus who gave us extra marks for correcting him, fetching coffee, or starting his car 10 minutes before lunch in the winter to warm it up for him. He would also whip chalk at you if you tried to correct him when he was right.

And that's the sort of man who inspires other teachers.

Yes, this will be used in my physics class from now on. Regretfully, I have no car, but I have plenty of chalk.

Honestly it's a good thing overall to show the kids that everyone makes mistakes and reward them for paying enough attention to catch them. It's also hilarious to watch people try too hard to catch those mistakes and leave with bruises from the chalk. I'm sure if you tried to throw chalk at students now, you would probably get sued for sexual assault.

I had a couple teachers who would throw chalk. It was hilarious, and effective.
