Do you remember your favorite teacher? Why was he or she your favorite? Was it because he or she was apathetic and boring? Was it becaue he or she followed along every state approved lesson plan and never thought outside of the box?
For me, it was always more fun to be taught by someone who loved teaching, and who loved inspiring his or her students.
Yes, in hindsight it was a mistake to burn the flag. Those students and parents are nuts and the teacher should have known his audience would react like that.
