Had some great students back then too. I teach college level physics & astronomy, but for one semester a high school wanted an astronomy teacher so I figured why not (inner city high school mind you) and yeah... that was rough. Meanwhile, I get high school aged kids coming to my college because they can't get the education at their current school or whatever, and they almost always are an absolutely delight, such that if I had a classroom of that type of high school student it would be fantastic!
