I have been a fan of Welcome Back, Kotter for many years and i have noticed in many episodes that Woodman barged into Gabe's class and bawled him out over something the Sweathogs might have done. It came to a head in the first episode of the third season when Gabe finally stood up to him, telling Woodman he was tired of his attitude toward his class.

But there were a couple of instances where Woodman wasn't such a bad guy. In one episode, he admired Washington's talent as a DJ and encourage him to start a radio station where Horshack became "The Mad Broadcaster of Buchanan High" and an earlier episode where he went back to teaching history for a while.

Feel free to post your thoughts on Woodman.

i don't think they writers thought that much into it.

I think Woodman, in his own way, was an alright guy. Just and older dude with a different mindset. I think, in his own way, he liked the Sweathogs.
