When you were in high school, was there a teacher who scared the stuffing out of the kids?
For me and my classmates at Central High School in Philadelphia, that teacher was Elliot Cades, an English teacher. He was formidable. He was a lawyer by training and he was demanding and sarcastic. Used to verbally rip kids to shreds.

Our english teacher was only mean when he was drinking. Unfortunately that was all of the time until he went into detox and treatment. Remember him throwing a kid down two flights of stairs.
My grandmother had a one room school teacher in wisconsin in 1897 that beat a student to death in the wood shed. The town sent him away.
