Boy Singled Out By His Substitute Teacher Gets The Ultimate Revenge

For most kids, walking into class and seeing a substitute teacher sitting behind the desk was a dream come true. It usually meant you'd be kicking back, watching a movie, and leaving labor-intensive projects for when the usual teacher returned. Class would be a breeze.

Rude and surprising comments she made towards him shook the whole community, and he knew he couldn't sit idly by and let her get away with it.
