I was assigned a "Computer class" - and they were supposed to get Apple IIes and the machines were in, but down in the basement, and couldn't be setup because they were going to use the old "typing room" (which had electric plugs on the floor by each desk), but the room needed to be "secured" (wire cage on the windows and door). So from September - November, I had to wing it (I had some stuff from my college PASCAL course and could put together something of the "basics" - e.g., stuff about "time-sharing", modems and couplers and BASIC programming)... AND I had my handy Tandy and could get the school's 19" color TV to hook the Tandy to the TV for a demo. Had kids cutting other classes to see my demo! I was like, "Wait? Who are you????" 
Once the room was finally secured and the machines brought up, I spent all 5 periods of classes to get them up and running and then here comes the school's Math teachers, who *could have* taken over the class at the beginning, but didn't bother because there were no machines installed yet (a couple had Apple IIcs at home). 
That January, I was officially a fed and that was that (it was a 1/2 year class that I think they rotated with gym)!
