You wouldn’t see it if the tree fell on you.

We should all be self-correcting.

The teacher brings enlightenment.

Is this a new teacher?

Ok, last we saw him he had white hair, right?

Will be interesting to follow this sub’s responses to the children. Already countered Caulfield.

Knew it, June 19th, 2014.

Today’s question: does a hyphen turn two words into one?

Hey, they do have another teacher.

It’s called a cloudy day.I’ve often wondered if anyone ever wrote a science fiction story in which a planet was always covered in clouds. How would people react on that day when the clouds broke through…

Maybe a slick reference to Isaac Asimov’s classic Nightfall

I would go with a nuclear war, all the survivors if any would be underground

If a particle isn’t observed, does it have neither position nor velocity?

I figured the reason nobody saw the sunrise was that they were all in bed, watching TV or playing with their phones.

That has to be the dumbest thing Caulfield ever said onstage.

Did you hear about the man who stayed up all night wondering where the sun went, until finally it dawned on him?

The sun doesn’t “rise”, the earth rotates while the sun stays in (relatively) the same spot. The concept of “rising” has no validity with an observer… a life form I guess… to see observe it that way. Or am I just being a doofus? Or mansplaining?

It would be dark because you are not very bright this morning!

The answer to Caulfield’s question is "A fairly large disaster has occurred.

Mr. Nielsen, my 8th-grade algebra teacher, would start each year with a big, thick note pad that he had taken a big, thick Magic Marker to and written “0” on the top sheet, “1” on the second sheet, “2” on the next and so on. He then pasted it onto a cardboard frame with the prominent label “Mistakes.” Catch him making an error and he’d tear off a page. He’d also display how many mistakes he’d been caught making the previous year, and the record year. He was a good teacher, so we paid attention anyway, but that helped a lot.

Nowadays, we have comments sections, so Mr. Uhrmann won’t have to decide whether to tear off a page of his own Mistakes Pad when someone tries to call him on “self-correcting” being two words held together with a hyphen. That one will fall to me. Though I might not get to it as quickly as Mr. Nielsen.

I’m surprised there’s someone aside from Mrs. Olsen.
