Laura - I had to catch up this morning, so it took a while, but I am calling BS on your Barfield comment.
Mr. Hopper was by far my favorite teacher. I always had him right after break, so I would spend break in his class talking about sports and doing my homework from the day before. He was a big Kentucky fan.
I don't know what to say specifically about bad ole Ernie. I always thought him somewhat of a hypocrite. He kept that Bible in his desk but he wouldn't treat people fairly. I took him for two physics classes (my choice, what an idiot), so I had to do the mouse-trap project twice. Both years, I got so mad because he would make people get 'patents' on how the candle would be extinguished. Well the project groups were two people, so there were like 10 or 12 projects. There aren't 10 or 12 ways a flame can be extinguished. I thought he was such an ass.
The first year I had physics, I was the only one from our class in there (you guys were all taking Chemistry that year, something to do with how I transferred in credits). Charlie Wilson(?) just dropped a brick on his candle. Ernie said, "Snuffing out the flame, has already been taken, you can't do that." Charlie said, "I'm not snuffing out the flame, I'm destroying the candle. A candle that doesn't exist can't burn." Ernie didn't know what to say but he was pissed that he lost the argument. That pretty much sealed it that I couldn't stand him, but I had to keep taking his classes because he was the only option for science and I wanted as much as I could get heading to Tech. Looking back on it now I wish I had done the minimum requirement in science and taken as much typing as I could. I would be able to type today and I would have met more girls.
