She claims that they were hard, but sort of easy in some parts... I'm sure she got a really high score... probably a 4, maybe a 5. She's a lot smarter than she lets on.

I dunno...

my bio teacher has gotta be up there... he is one flippin' screwball.

he has toys he plays with to start class off... like a tricycle bell, a squeeky duck, and a pair of plastic chatter teeth that walks around. When one of these sounds, he tells us a corny joke of the day, and then we start class...

He also has a pet leach in the aquarium that he could hold for extra credit, and we could eat either sardeens or anchovies too... >_< *both were not really worth it....*
