Dear Sillies,
I feel for the college students who have to stare at computer screens and pay thousands of dollars for this (Chico State keeps RAISING tuition, whilst detracting from the college experience in too many ways) -- WHOOSH. Thank goodness we're not a parent, a student, or a teacher, right? Or are you? If so, have some chocolate. Then have some more. Repeat.
But hey, school's back in session. This is good. This is fun. Naughty, even. Enjoy.
PS Sorry about Martha (for her dad bod, that is. Someone's been going heavy on beer.)
I'm a parent and a grandparent. Your collage of pictures was fun to look through.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you don't have to figure out how to be a teacher and parent and computer wiz and advocate and...Sigh. I really feel for all the parents of school kids, and teachers. I couldn't do it.
DeleteI'm not much into poetry, but this poem sort of "spoke" to me.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Got a rise out of it, did ya, Mike? Wink.
DeleteSome forms of education really do require in-person learning. Still, I'd be curious what kind of homework this teacher assigns.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Infidel. There's a lot of field research and hands-on experiential learning involved in these after-school programs. I mean, my friends tell me.
Delete;-)
School was never that fun.
ReplyDeleteIf only, right, Diane? I had a college crush on one of my TAs. He was engaged but then he wasn't. Damn, I was too shy to ask for some one-on-one instruction.
DeleteYeah, Martha's really let herself go.
ReplyDeleteI know, Debra. That pandemic hit her directly in the gut. Haha.
DeleteFun post,dear Robyn! Chico State raising tuition? Somebody must have squealed. I recall college in the 60s as a huge fug of smoke with arms and legs sticking out. Had to leave and make a living. As usual, I became a gardener.
ReplyDeleteOh, Geo. Funny how we end up using that college education. But it was worth every moment of the fog and every dim. Thankfully, it was affordable back in the day. Love ya, friend.
DeleteEnrollment would be UP if you were headmistress. School colors -black. School underwear - optional.
ReplyDeleteAs always - you get an A+ on your creative writing.
Laughter here. Love that, Joanne, especially the undies optional aspect.
DeleteThanks for the solid grade. Woohoo.
I think some of my male teachers were thinking this. Hey my former high school principal, a priest, was charged 5 years ago with keeping child porn. How lovely. Now Mary Kay Letourneau must have thought this way when looking at all the boys in the school yard.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know, Birgit. What a twisted, troubled woman. And your principal -- yuck! I always enjoy your stories about those school days, though.
DeleteThank you.
Well, if this wasn't eye-opening. Wonderfully creative word play to go with my first coffee of the morning. Your former high school principal reminded me of an old uncle...
ReplyDeleteThere's always that creepy weird uncle, presstfortime.
DeleteYikes.
Smiles.
