Student: I never got why the guy who hits a home run gets to showboat a little while his batting coach sits there quietly.
Mr. Burke: What inspired that?
Student: Nothing. I just aced another quiz is all.
Frazz: What inspired that?
I can’t stand it when athletes showboat for doing their job (like a tackle making a tackle). A home run and acing a quiz, though, are both a bit special.
Here’s to the wonderful teachers in our lives. My parents moved a lot when I was young…I went to 19 different grade schools…and while leaving friends wasn’t the best, knowing all those GREAT teachers, their methods and love, has been really good for me ALL my life…thanks to you all, each and every one…the direct transmission of culture, teachers, librarians, our families, and kind adults…
This reminds me of a study done some years ago. Kids who were having trouble in class were instructed by the researchers to ask the teacher to explain something and after the explanation say “Oh, now I understand.” Their grades improved noticeably.

A certain amount of justice involved in being able to do that. You’ve done your job well.

Actually clipped this one out of the newspaper today, thought the batting coach looks more like the Detroit Tigers great manager Jim Leyland.

Teachers – we’re not in it for the income, we’re in it for the outcome!
