"When Young Teachers Go Wild on the Web."

Well, at least I know that's not about me. Because I'm not young.

Undoubtedly, teachers could go on about parents who are obsessed with their children and won't leave the classroom or interfere with kids on playgrounds, parents who insist their children don duct-tape gags, parents who want all other parents to pitch in to buy teachers extravagant end-of-year gifts, parents who insist that global warming be taught, parents who threaten lawsuits about ball throwing, parents who expect classes to stop so flowers can be delivered to a child on her birthday, and on and on ad infinitum ad eternitatis.

Schools are not for sissies, anti-bullying programs to the contrary.; 4/28/08, 8:54 AM

Probably blow job, but you never know. It might be the other sex.

Newspapers are so coy.

And how is it invoked?

It might just have been used, not invoked at all.

It's a thing you cannot say, is the claim, and so, the logic is, it is a scandal. See, we are not saying it, merely alluding and using tweezers with blindfolds on it, to prove its scandalousness.; 4/28/08, 9:50 AM

blake said...: And Groucho said it first. Or was it Fields?

It's an old line, anyway.

This is kind of interesting because teachers are claiming some sort of moral high ground.; 4/28/08, 6:59 PM
