I have day 3 of a class tomorrow morning, and already have my eye on two shiteheads from last weekend that I'm gonna bounce if they so much as fart.

The only driving I did in my drivers Ed class was down a gravel road

Its crazy now, there is more involved in DE today. When I was in HS in the 90s, the drivers ed teacher was a biology teacher. This older black man who also owned a funeral home and a bar. Dude was a hustler. Dude was funny AF.

He would take everyone driving around LSU and Southern and would yell at girls walking around. If he was driving around Southern he would yell "hey girl, these white boys said you fine". If around LSU and he had black students he would yell "hey girl, this black boy in here said you fine!".

I had him one year for bio and he was the only teacher that you hated when a substitute was in. He was really like a comedian teaching class.

One of my friends was driving with him when he took them to his funeral home.. In port allen. My friend said he tells them to get and go on in with him. They went through the back and there was a dead body back there and he just points while he is walking "that's a dead nword right there".

He taught pretty much for the insurance and he was older, he might have been able to retire, but he told us that he says whatever he wants and if someone got a problem with it "they can kiss my black arse because I will get in my truck and never come back". But if he taught today he would get fired the first few weeks of school. Dude would call on a black student and if they got the answer wrong he would say something along the lines of "that's one of the dumbest nwords I know".

But he would drive four at a time and if it was all boys, he would say the wildest shite. But this makes me think.. In general, I am glad I am not a kid in school today. From the stuff I hear from teachers I know.. or parents. Its just a completely different world today,

The head basketball coach was the drivers ed teacher at my high school. He’d pick me up at 6 am and we’d cruise around town for an hour before school listening to Walton and Johnson

Coach Bofinger!

Those accident videos were pretty gnarly.

Mine was the Football coach. We'd go through the drive through and get his coffee and breakfast (but we couldn't get anything because students weren't allowed to eat in class)... go to his bank... go pick up his cleaning... basically run his errands. Also...

I let him drive some, but he just doesn’t pay enough damn attention to what’s going on around him.


Drivers ed isn't going to fix that. Not letting him start driving until he fixes that will fix that.

Mine was a gymnastics teacher in 10th grade at Baton Rouge High Magnet in 1977 and his most wisest advisement was that if you saw a guy in front of you with his hand out the window flicking his fingers that he was flicking a booger. This guy was 5’6” 300# teacher gymnastics lol

Ours didn’t even work. We were told to just pretend. Lol


Ours did back in the '90s. Except for the stick shift module. My DE teacher said everyone fails that one. And we did.
