Apparently, the teacher was extremely particular about the answers. “So in my class of 20…” he adds, “15 of the kids didn’t cite it exactly how she said”

“14 of ‘em got to re-write the paper, not me.” Aaron Rodgers was asked to appear in her office to talk to the teacher regarding the paper.

He confronted her by stating “look I’m not looking for a special privilege here, but the other 14 kids… Who got an F on the paper, got to rewrite the paper, and I didn’t.” The NFL star confidently made his claim about the teacher being unfair to him, while the other students who trained on the same team with him got away.
