on her hand and then making her scrub it off in front of the class, this guy didn&#8217;t seem to do much of anything that would qualify as teaching.\u00c2\u00a0 Unless his goal was to teach a young Kelly about the nature of assholes in the world and to avoid such folks whenever possible, in which case he did an excellent job.\u00c2\u00a0 Everybody who went to school can relate to somebody like this guy, or (I hope) at least a lesser version of him.\u00c2\u00a0 For every truly inspirational teacher I had there were probably a dozen who were just holding down a paycheck or seemed to actually loathe the students, and this comic is an excellent story about one of the latter.\u00c2\u00a0 The only way it could have been better is if the guy had gotten some sort of comeuppance at the end, but the real world, sadly, rarely works that way.\u00c2\u00a0 And yes, for the curious, this still means that I&#8217;ve liked all of Kelly&#8217;s comics that I&#8217;ve seen.\u00c2\u00a0 What can I say?\u00c2\u00a0 She has the comic skills.\u00c2\u00a0 $.50<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sadist2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14680\" title=\"sadist2\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sadist2-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sadist2-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sadist2-772x1024.jpg 772w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/sadist2.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Sadist Science Teacher If you&#8217;ve ever thought while reading a comic &#8220;This is nice and all, but I wonder why this artist didn&#8217;t pick a career as a bio-chemical engineer instead&#8221;, Kelly gives an excellent rundown of why she was scared off of science early on.\u00c2\u00a0 This little mini depicts a true lunatic of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2626,4172],"class_list":["post-14678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-kelly-froh","tag-sadist-science-teacher"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14678"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16363,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14678\/revisions\/16363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
