I wonder where that whole notion comes from. I mean, I’ve had some judgmental teachers, sure, but as a profession?

A friend of mine just got summoned for it today, and is a little miffed at the inconvenience. As much as people make fun of it, though… I secretly sorta want to be called for it. (Apparently they generally don’t like teachers as jurors, though, because we’re very judgmental.)
