When former students who had resembled Caulfield in the classroom returned to visit, some had only taken their talents to another level and were still young minded. Many others had grown into worker bees who enjoyed only very rare flights of youth. I was sorry to see their lights dimmed by the burdens of work and existence.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.Too many adult children in this world
Sharp kick in the gut on her line. Far too many men of color don’t get to see old age. We lose too many future elderly African-American mentors of young men while they’re still too young themselves. (Grieving an old classmate as I type this.)

If she’s right, Caulfield will have a great future in movies. Or politics.

Growing old is mandatory, growing up isn’t.

Only if this strip goes ‘Gasoline Alley’ will Caulfield grow up.

Perhaps Caulfield will grow up to be a successful songwriter who moonlights as a janitor.

You have to grow old you don’t have to grow up in your mind we’re all 19

But do children enjoy childhood as much as adults enjoy adultery?

Still a little ambiguous. She might picture him dying young.

We all know that Mrs O, despite her gruff exterior, really has a soft spot for her favorite students (past & present).
