Why did the parents not like their son's biology teacher?
He had skeletons in his closet!

Did You Know?
"Skeletons in the closet" means hidden secrets, but biology teachers literally have anatomical skeletons for teaching! The human skeleton contains 206 bones in adults, though babies are born with around 300 that fuse over time. Educational skeleton models help students learn anatomy and are standard equipment in biology classrooms worldwide. The phrase "skeletons in the closet" originated in the 1800s from literal discoveries of hidden remains. Medical schools use donated bodies and skeletons for educational purposes!
