The 3rd Cashin to get Mr. G, (Latin), and he thought I was the baby upon visiting him. He could not believe he had one more, lets see if Claire can keep it up and try for getting him her freshman year on account of the fact he is retiring when I graduate (2010).
This teacher is hard to understand... or maybe he is so simple to understand it is confusing, oh well. He is brilliant (...or crazy), he speaks like, 7 languages and incorporates them in to all the classes. His major is in Latin and the history he knows practically everything about the language and the culture that there is to know. He had a bunch of acheivments... I can't even remember. The thing is, this guy can get away with ANYthing. He curses, has posters on the wall with these curse words, and does anybody stop him? Nope.
He has a wooden paddle in his classroom (actually he has 2, there is a smaller one). He whacks "nasty little boys" (even when they aren't being nasty) with yard sticks, throws books at them, and throws them out of their desks for things as simple as forgetting their homework. While if a girl does the same thing he simply pretends he doesn't see a thing. In the front of his classroom there is "sleepy chair" and old chair that gets a new cover each year where girls are allowed to sit and sleep during the class with a blanket over them when their boyfriend breaks up with them, or they are upset over some drama with their best friend, or when they just aren't feeling well.
He tells all the students how happy he is to have them in his class everyday calls them "babe", "beautiful men", "cuties" (all these names given to boys). He compliments all the girls. And then after complimenting the boys he manages to pick at all their flaws. Students who don't know a thing about him or have never had him before say, "What a strange man..." He actually blessed one kid in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and told him that he had absolved his sins and unless he brought his homework he would rot in You-Know-Where. (After which one kid said "Why don't you just send him to Azkaban?" Gee just snorted at him like that was the weirdest thing he'd ever heard).
Now after hearing that would you believe this guy is an Irish Catholic?
Even after the countless stories about this man from Nicole and Danny I still have no idea what to expect. We'll see... I can't wait... I guess.
