Funsucker was asked to take the non-seniors away so that I could give the seniors their exam. No kidding, she emailed me 4 times "when can I bring them back?"
Huh? She keeps saying she wants to teach. Nope, she wants to teach in a team environment so someone else does the discipline......
On a completely different note, I talked with someone from my high school (yep, the home lets 'em out periodically) and she made the comment that she only passed trig because of me. Probably true.
We had a nice man as a teacher - nice man, lousy teacher. He would assign homework today and go over it tomorrow. That was his teaching.
So, I'd go home, my parents would teach it to me, and I would hold class in homeroom and teach whoever would come so they would be prepared in class. I have no idea if we got a grade for homework or not, but we must have.

I am lucky enough to not work with anyone who still "teaches" that way...
My daughter was taught that way this year in an honors alg-trig class that covered half a year of math analysis (pre-calc) also. I do not have time to teach her everything everyday since I work 2 jobs. This year has not been good.
The teacher was a nice guy. It was beneficial (to me) because he basically taught to the 1st row. You could sit in the back and talk. And the cool kids did - for one grading period, then they moved to the front and got quiet.
I remember that sometimes when I want to shot to be heard - and I lower my voice. They do get quiet.
But, on the whole, he was the worst I had.
Hey, I too want to teach in an environment where someone else does the discipline. 8-)
