Fortunately for me, I got along quite well with mot of my high school teachers. We had a special breed back in those days (the early '70s) at Heights High, sometimes known as Hippie High. A couple of the better known alumni include Jimmy Fox and Todd Sharp.

Math teachers and I never got along. That's partly on account of having lost all my arithmetic skills in an accident (concussion, contusion, fractured skull, aphasia &c). Portable calculators became available around 67-8, and are the only way I could pass a test. That's true to this day.
Yikes, that's rough. I can't even blame my rudimentary-at-best math skills on trauma. Just always was a words guy, not a numbers guy.

Woe betide the kid who had to excuse themselves from seventh and eighth year math class for their music lesson. That teacher hated music students. This has 1967-8 written all over it. School discipline was strict, no doubt a reaction to the "hippie" thing going on out there. Inside, we kids belonged to them until the school bell.
We had a dress code in public schools. No jeans, no long hair, girls couldn't wear trousers unless doing some after-school activity. My parents had to go argue with the principal when he wanted to kick me out in my senior year for growing a moustache. A proper moustache it was, too. I still remember one line from the section on boys' hair: "No ducktails, fenders or sideburns."

They came down hard on girls who dared the skirt length rules. Noted that as a Good Kid, I stayed (mostly) below the radar of the school disciplinarians. That became a survival skill by the time I hit boarding school.
Eighth year students got typing lessons. They opened the class to boys the year before. Always opportunity for a Smart Girl who can type and take dictation for her boss. That a Smart Girl might be the boss is far out of consideration in 68.

Well, of course the Spanish pronunciation is ‘hor hay’...but absolutely no one in our 9th grade knew that.
All we heard was the ‘WHORE’...which is one way to elicit giggles (did I mention this was 9th grade, in 1968?) and heap more abuse on the kid, several times a day.
That place was Wrong on so many levels...
If you can’t do math, life will never add up.

Happy July!
Oh I can do math all right. Expect all the proofs to be perfectly assembled. Expect the answer to be wrong and we're good.

My high school principal had a rule, if you didn’t attend the graduation ceremony, you wouldn’t receive a diploma. Thinking that this was wrong, I didn’t attend. I didn’t care about the paper. This set me on a course of not attending any of my graduations.
Yeah, I grew up with that last name. There's not a Bates joke you can make that I haven't heard a hundred times
A Tuba is much more compact. I think that's a Sousaphone.
