“I’m going to be late for school. Wait! I’m thirty-three; I’m a teacher! Anyway, I’m still late what will the kid do without their number one super totally awesome science teacher.” Mr Mattson, the very unconceited teacher, we all love oh-so very much.

Mr Mattson is notorious for not dealing with criticism well. He is always sending kids to write lines, even if they just say he needs to fix his collar, which is often.
