38. Our Four Feet Tall Teacher

In high school, I had a very sour old woman for Algebra. She was very mean and an awful teacher, but she was only about four feet tall. In her classroom, there was a set of steps in front of the whiteboard so she could reach to write on it.
Whenever she was absent (which was quite frequent, she was sick a lot. She actually kept all of her used tissues in her desk, but that’s a story for another time), we would take the markers from the little lip below the whiteboard and place them very precariously on top where she couldn’t reach them. Then we would take the box of extras and put them on top of the TV cabinet.
