    "Treated unfairly by teacher all semester, but I gave him some payback."
  • 02
    This story goes back over thirty years ago when I (m50) was a senior in high school. Civics was a required course necessary for graduation. My older sister had taken Civics four years earlier with the same teacher, Mr. K.
  • 03
    My first day in class Mr. K takes attendance and recognizes my last name and asks if I'm related to my sister. Upon acknowledging that we were in fact related Mr. K
  • 04
    shakes his head and in his West African accent says, "Baaaahd citizen. I will have to watch you."
  • 05
    "Bad citizen" was his catch-phrase for anyone who did something he didn't like in his classroom. I thought he was just kidding me, but I soon learned that he was actually serious.
  • 06
    Now I don't know what kind of trail of destruction that my older sister had left in her wake, but I wasn't a troublemaker. I get into class on day two of Civics
  • 07
    and 10 minutes into class I start getting chastised by Mr. K for talking during class. What was particularly odd, beyond the fact that I hadn't spoken a word, was that no one was talking. I tried to explain that I hadn't said anything, but
  • 08
    it didn't matter. Not five minutes later I was getting sent to the office with a suspension referral for talking in class without speaking.
  • 09
    Apparently Mr. K's credibility was already somewhat tarnished with the school administrators and I wasn't suspended from school. Nonetheless this is how much of the semester went. I would
  • 10
    get sent to the office for Mr. K's paranoid delusions. He would mark my tests with grades of C or D eventhough I had answered every question correctly. Gave me a final grade of C eventhough I had earned an A.

    Mr. K always stayed after school each day until exactly 5:00pm in his classroom with the door closed. No one knows what he did in there, as he never had a lesson plan that went beyond having students read the textbook out loud to the rest of class.
  • 12
    So on the last day of school everyone left right away for the summer. Everyone that is except for Mr. K and myself.
  • 13
    Mr. K was secluded in his classroom as he always was after school was done. I tiptoed silently up to his door, standing with my feet wider than the door to prevent the shadow of my feet being
  • 14
    seen under the door. I then proceeded to empty an entire tube of glue, the fast drying kind, into the seam between his door and the doorframe.
  • 15
    Well Mr. K and the glue had a little over two hours for the glue to set. Plenty of time for the glue to harden. I wasn't around for it, but I heard that the fire department
  • 16
    had to come to free him from his classroom. Mr. K could only guess who the "Bad citizen" was that glued him in his room.
