Wherever there is something that someone could possibly do in this world, there is someone out there taking it way too far. This is a phrase that I have uttered in the intro of these threads more times than I could possibly begin to count — but it remains as accurate and as relevant as ever.

A teacher gave notice and was swiftly fired by a vindictive principal, who then wanted access to their teaching records. The teacher taught a night class part-time “just for some extra cash.” They taught this class for a few days every week in addition to their full-time role and the local high school.
