For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 23, 2010

And a Miss is a miss out? Not what to teach a kid, male or female. And maybe she really is that bad… or a walnut.

I remember my father saying something similar to me about my 5th grade witch of a teacher. Then he met her. The first thing she did was complain about how stupid I was in math, and pulled out my math papers to demonstrate that I had all the answers wrong. My MATH PROFESSOR father pointed out to her that the answers weren’t wrong. Teacher countered with “But she doesn’t do them the right way”! I was moved to another 5th grade class shortly after that and proceeded to make straight A’s the rest of the year.

This sounds like the teachers I had.

Is it just me or is Elly’s comment about being a Mrs and being loved, kinda wrong? If a man were to say that, he’d be accused of being sexist.

Well FishStix, looks like you did okay, you can read and write very well. Have you seen some of the mistakes made in the postings? You’re okay in my book.

love is blind, but does it have to be stupid too?

Hmmmmm, walnuts!

Walnuts don’t like me - mild allergies.

walnuts are evil and must be stamped out!

EVIL, I tell you! and they’re ALL nuts, every one of ‘em

@FISHSTIX==Several months ago you gave a website where I saw the gorgeous motorhome you have to take you to your fishing sites. Must have done something right post your school days.

I’m sure someone loved her enough to marry her (it sure wasn’t for money if she is a teacher). But 30 years of teaching the rugrats had to change her.

I am sure it couldn’t be Michael that is mistaken! (LOL)

I empathasize Michael. Would love to see FishStix’ motorhome too. Sounds awesome.

She’s a Walnut?!?!?! That was awesome!

A walnut,, tough to crack,, so does that mean Mrs. Hardacre is a tough old nut to crack?

@ catlady1, I had a teacher like that my senior year in high school. First exam he gave me a “F”, I took the test to the head of the math dept. and asked him to look at it, I had a perfect paper, I just did the math in my head and wrote the answers. I ended up with and “A” in the class.

Thanks for the link, FishStix! I enjoyed reading about your trip through Utah and Oregon. I lived in Utah as a child and now live in Oregon, so I found it very interesting.

Two points.

I had a teacher in 3rd grade who told my mother I’d never write cursive legibly in my life. I didn’t work on it, but I’ve been told I write beautifully.

Second – kudos to GoComics to 3+ weeks of blocking spam.

milano99 - yeah, that’s right, isn’t it? Cool!
