He's super fun and really easy going. He may seem hard at times, but it's only to try and push you further to your limits. No matter your reputation, or how well you're doing in his class, he will grade your assignments properly. I was failing his class, but when I wrote a great final exam (to this day I'm still unsure if he bumped my mark up to allow me to pass, or I just wrote a banger of an exam) and I clutched a passing grade, he pulled me aside after and told me my exam received the highest grade out of the class and asked why I wasn't performing at that level for the entire semester. He told me he knew from the start of the semester I was capable of passing the class with a high 90%, but understood when I eluded to having ADHD. He's a fantasic man and will create many inside jokes during your classes. He makes his classes fun with movie references, or just random inside jokes, such as pretending to clothesline me everytime I entered the classroom like he was some type of WWE wrestler. Or when he asks a question and no one raises their hand right away, or taking attendance, he WILL quote Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He takes his job seriously, but he does really care about his students. He rememebers every single one of them and how to make them laugh, or get through to them, no matter if it's grade 9 and you don't see him again until grade 12, he remembers and you will be lucky to have him as a teacher for that reason. The day he retires will be a sad day for SMHS.
