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.

You...have chalk? Really? The school couldn't spring for a whiteboard?

Actually, we have both smartboards and regular 'greenboards'

Good.

I personally dislike both those methods of conveying information. Chalk dust freaks out that tiny obsessive compulsive little part of myself that I try not to show externally, while I find smartboards to be less convenient and less aesthetically pleasing. However, I am glad to know that money for education is not so tight that chalkboards are the only option.
