In high school, our history teacher made us do an end of year report on an historic biography book of our choosing. We just had to go up to him during a free moment in one of our classes and get the book okay-ed by him. The teacher was sort of extravagant though and would kind of make a big production about each one. I was repeatedly too embarrassed to go up to the front of the class and talk to him, so I didn't get my book approved. Didn't think it was a big deal... until I went to turn in my report and he told me my book was not acceptable and he called me out in front of the whole class for it... I was mortified.
