I wasn't aware that teachers were allowed to shout a student's grade from across the room in front of everyone like that. I guess if the teacher in "War Games" did it, than its okay then.
I never humiliated a kid like that when I was teaching. I know what it feels like. Miss Freezorger (who we called Miss Freezerbag) told everyone I failed a french test and I was so insensed that I got up and went to walk out. When I put my hand on the doorknob she said, "If you leave, mister, it's over for you." I thought for a second and then punched the wall. It was one of those old plaster walls and like in a cartoon, the plaster crack went right up to the ceiling as everyone gasped. I just walked to the Principals office after that and waited for the storm to begin.
So THAT teacher is lucky I wasn't a T-Rex or I would have really spread the chaos.
When I was in school. Teachers never told us our grades out loud, there were rules against that of course, but you'd get plenty of slackers and do-nothing types loudly proclaiming with pride that they "Got a "D!"
It was just frustrating, for someone to break out this "I don't care" kind of attitude, when the rest of us were working hard for what we did get, regardless of whether we were satisfied with it or not.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
