The teacher's passivity in the face of this kid's insubordination tells me all I need to know about the classroom.
I guarantee I would not sit behind my desk and keep repeating, "Okay. You can leave now" over and over if a kid was dressing me down like that in front of the class, even if the kid was right.
That being said, the kid is right that a teacher who does nothing but hand out packets and draw a paycheck is worthless.
