He wore a wig? He must've got the piss ripped mercilessly! When I was at school, wigs were just about the funniest thing in the world. I was a bit sad...

Seriously though it's not difficult to make Physics boring. At school I never really enjoyed it but felt duty bound to take the A level because it was something I was (unwillingly) good at. Nowadays the curriculum is a bit more interesting, but it doesn't really cover anything in any depth. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not really. I found it boring, but I did leave school with a thorough understanding of how stuff works and it was invaluable to my degree. Now kids study joint science rather than seperate subjects I'm not sure they do have an indepth understanding of Physics or any of the other sciences, and during my very brief teaching career they absolutely HATED science, not least because it was compulsory and kids don't like being told what to do very much. It could, of course, been that they didn't like me... Not to worry, they didn't have to endure my lessons for long! :-)
