"Hey, c'mon, kid," he says, giving her a look. "I know better than that."
He can be intimidating enough that he won't need to name names in order for the teacher to sweat a little under the collar. What Hopper would really like to do is find a way to get the guy fired, but that requires access to information he doesn't have just yet and probably won't. Not unless he goes back to work as a cop.
It's just that going back to work feels like admitting defeat. Like he's accepting he won't be able to get back to Eleven and he's not ready to do that yet. Sleeping in that empty apartment every night is bad enough, even if it is the first time he's had his own bed in over a year.
