Insane! I had a teacher who was similar when I was in highschool, she was the English/Lit teacher and you could get her to ramble for the solid 75min class if you asked how her daughters were doing. The difference was, she was also VERY commanding - NO ONE messed around in her class. She was no-nonsense, send you right to the principal, if you fucked around. I loved her. Hands down my favourite teacher.

I cannot imagine banging my fist on the table to emphasise how bored I was! That's some poor upbringing right there. In life, there is going to be PLENTY of times one will be bored to tears but cannot leave, we have to learn how to cope with that respectfully and calmly.

Ugh! So annoying for you! I'm sorry!
