I had a teacher in my junior year of highschool. He was a pessimistic kind of person but he was funny. The first week of class he said that he was taking this job to study teen apathy (it means lack of giving a shit). As time went on he would take notes on how we would react to certain things in his classroom (poems, things in the news, personal issues, if we studied or not). He left after that year and it was only his first year of being at that school. He is now at some university in Florida teaching about the same topic and probably makes reference to us. I'm waiting on a book to come out.
