‘Sir, this is what you wanted': Physics teacher gets schooled by students after he demands they plot graph, despite not knowing the range of values upfront

When teachers attempt to exert control with no real grounds to do so, things get messy, fast. In this case, a physics teacher demanded his students plot the graph for an experiment as they went along, despite not knowing the range of values upfront. OP, who was a part of the class, realized that even though this teacher had no clue what he was doing, he and the rest of the class would have to comply. The experiment in question included demonstrating the young modulus, where you would expect a straight line, until a point whereby the material yields and strains much further than expected by Hooke's law.

So the entire class began plotting the data they had, but they clearly didn't have enough space to accompany the entire experiment and were running out of paper, pretty fast. Smugly, they turned to their teacher and asked him, 'Sir, what should we do now?', to which he replied angrily that he'd go get some tape and more A4 graph paper. He doubled the graph paper by taping them together and called them a few names.

The fun for the students didn't end there… scroll down to read what happened next. For more, here is a Karen customer who was served decaf for six weeks after she messed with the wrong barista… for the record, don't try this at home.
