A Teacher’s Priorities
Addiction is a serious problem that can severely affect your personal and professional lives. This teacher, unbeknownst to his students at the time, had a serious issue when it came to gambling. He disrupted the class every morning to feed his addiction by turning the channel in the classroom on ESPN to check the winning team.
The history teacher hid his addiction from his students by telling them that watching ESPN was like watching history in the making. Some students were very pleased that they got to spend a chunk of the day watching the sports channel. However, the curriculum wasn’t covered that semester and everyone failed the final.
