Jackson as teacher

I was reminded of Stonewall's teaching career by this remiscence of Frank Vandiver.
"Jackson," Frank said, "was probably the worst teacher who ever lived." The cadets in Jackson's classes at the institute hated and ridiculed him. Frank said they hurled erasers at Jackson when his back was turned and also gave him a nickname: Tom Fool Jackson.

He was due a career change.
