Oh, I can assure you I was no poster child either. My sophomore year teacher was a misguided socialistic type and we had some serious differences of opinion sometimes!
And my world history teacher was a feminist, so we being the obnoxious boys we were tried to screw with her any way we could. She was also very smart and knew we were trying to get a rise out of her, so we had a good time. Same thing in genetics when the teacher was doing the Punnett(sp?) Square for sex chromosomes on the board and put XY across the top and XX down the side and I made a comment about it. She was glad because it got the whole class engrossed in a discussion which got everyone involved. I think I was more obnoxious because my Mom was a math teacher at the school and I knew I would get away with it. Although we did get kicked out of calculus class right across the hall form my Mom's room for playing poker one day...
