Some of You Know Why He Did It

A Tampa math teacher found a way to put the “high” back into high school. Vernon Antonio Welch has been suspended with pay for smoking marijuana on the way to class. A student ratted him out.

Welch told police he “smoked it on his way to school to cope with the kids in his classroom.”

   Wow. People are such idiots sometimes. I’ve caught kids smoking pot outside my trailer, but no teachers yet.

   The day I need to get high before I can deal with my class is the day I get out of the business entirely.
