his way of teaching consists of being bad at explaining things. he teaches math and science and is arguably good at the subjects but he does them in his own way and does not like people doing them their way. He loves when people explain their thinking or write long explanations for... MATH CLASS, as long as those explanations match his way of doing things. i do not for sure know that he likes reading my long, boring, name referencing, nerdy explanations but i know for a fact that he really does not like it when i do not explain my thought process. he separates the smart the and "not so smart" kids with the smart kids getting worksheet and the "not so smart" kids getting another explanation about how they "should" do math. because his teachings are forgettable science is entirely memorization. for some reason i remember liking his class despite his bad explanations and tedious worksheet which were not anything "smart" but more brute force and doing the same calculations over and over again.

the teacher is strict, bad at explaining things and pay far more attention to the struggling student than the advanced students overall a good teacher because he is persistent in helping those behind. also he has very little tolerance to bad behavior so try not to mess around. he loves his own way of doing this and refused to believe there is a better way of doing things. he will not apologize for accidently breaking your pencil box (still angry about that) if he sees it as a consequence of your own actions because you agitated him enough for him to drop it on the floor. he does not pick favorites but helps those who need help more. he is almost zero tolerance, strict and still i like him and think he is a good teacher if you get him.
