Mr. K (Klamath Union High School)

One of my English teachers in high school was a pretty conservative guy politically and socially. He came by it honestly and intellectually. I was certainly not and that was obvious. I'm no shrinking violet. I still regard him as one of the most important people in my scholastic experience. There's something he said in class one day I never forgot. One of the students said that we "had" to come to school and his class. His response was that there is nothing that we "had" to do. We CHOOSE to do any behavior or action that is not physically motivated. It explained responsibility like never before or since.
