   Caulfield, say exactly what you said in the 2nd panel. It’s something a teacher rarely hears. Over the years, I received a few cards, one hand carved apple that I still have, and one two-page letter thanking me for something I had forgotten but which had changed the life of one student. I was grateful for all. They made the years seem a little brighter than I remembered.

   In 25 years of classroom time, I had to deal with more ‘curve balls’ than a league of hitters. Saying ‘the dog ate my homework’ was just one of the many pitches from the back rows. They were zany and varied.

   Danae is getting ahead of the parents who usually blame the teacher/school for the failure of offsprings to measure up. Had a number of those one year.

   Seems at the end of the 5th grading period Moms and Dads had not received report cards for Bismuth and Budgie et al. Storming into the school office, they raved and ranted about the poor system, etc. Imagine their faces when it was revealed that report cards had been sent via mail. For some reason, they were ‘shocked.’ [It had only been done that way for about 20 years.]

   ‘Well, what happened to them?!!?’ This being a small rural county where everyone knew everyone, canny principal suggested they check at post office. [The post master was their neighbor.]

   While I can only imagine the results after they found that the cards had been delivered as intended, I can also imagine the storm that swept through the area from house to house. But that storm also cleared the air of complaints about the system and its supposed failings. Next few years were very quiet.

   That’s advertising at its best, i.e., selling excess as the only sure way to look the way you wished you looked – and failing.

   Some guys use maybe 6 or 7 of those – not that is does much good.
