Coral Springs, FL - In a 2007 student poll, eleventh grade tenured American History teacher Jim Hennigan was selected the "Most Popular" at Woodland High School in Coral Springs. "He has a big following," Rachel McIntire, the Student Government President explained. "There's a waiting list to get in." Hennigan, the school's varsity football coach, permits students to play X-box in class. The activities are concealed behind a U.S. Constitution poster which hangs on his door window. "Allowing kids to experience the soldiers of Delta Squad saving people on Sera from the Locust Horde exposes them to the realities of war," Hennigan recently told Zach Figel, a reporter for the school's underground newspaper The Forest. Rather than study the "shot heard 'round the world" or the Battle of Gettysburg, students fight the wars of Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago. "He told us just to be cool about it and not fight over who has first ups," said student Erik Harley, who plays during Period B. "Basically, if we come to class and don't say anything, we get a good grade and he gets to read the sports section."
