The Resume

    (circa 1995- )
    Substitute math teacher at Montville High School in Montville, Connecticut
    Fired for running a ‘fight club’ among students in his class (October, 2017)
    Police investigation began after a social worker reported a ‘traumatized’ 15-year-old student who had been beaten by classmates (December, 2017)
    Arrested on four counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of risking injury to a child, and one count of disturbing the peace (April 12, 2018)

Why he might be annoying:

    He admitted to supervising four slap-boxing fights in his classroom.
    According to witnesses, one fight ended only after one of the participants threw up.
    He let other students record the fights with their cell phones.
    In one video, he smiles and laughs as the fight begins.
    In addition to running a fight club, he told students stories about smoking marijuana and let students draw inappropriate pictures on the whiteboards, including one of Fish and another teacher engaging in oral sex.
    He told police, ‘I’m immature’ and ‘The truth is I’m an idiot and wanted to befriend them.’

Why he might not be annoying:

    He explained, ‘I would let them be teenagers and let them get their energy out.’
    One of the students participating in the fights called Fish his ‘mentor.’
    Considering that officials failed to notify the police back when they fired the guy for running a fight club, he clearly is not the only person in the Montville school system with dubious judgment.
