My wife and I are both well qualified to teach calculus at the college level. We were helping out the marching band kids between the end of school and the start of practice. They were clearly understanding more and pulling ahead of the rest of the class. Teacher claimed it was unfair to the others and was the equivalent of cheating. We said he was going to report it as an honor code violation. He also claimed that before he even met with us that we could not be qualified to teach such and advanced topic. Dept head got him back in the box. His contract was not renewed (2 years experience). The kids we helped were the only ones who did really well on the AP exam.
Have other stories like that as well.
