Hmmm, let me see here....

"Dear Mr. Hilliker, correcting you on a blatant and indisputable factual error -- an error which you openly admit -- is respect for knowledge, not disrespect for authority.  Feel free to hold and attend your detention, but don't expect to see my [$CHILD] there atoning for your ignorance of basic units."

Yeah, I think that'd about cover it.

"In the future, Alex would be better off simply accepting my teachings without resistance"

It's this sentence that really bugs me. The rest of it is probably just the teacher needing to throw some weight around. I can't belive that any principal or school administration would let this jackass keep teaching. Now, I know that it was a dozen years ago, but still!

Same thought here. "Yes, I was wrong, but how dare you point out my error, I'm busy filling this class's heads with nonsense and factual errors!"

Or, why Alex's friend Johnny can't do math: Because Johnny's teacher can't, either.
