must teach at a knight school

A school of hard knocks.

Is Bleeb hanging on to her purse for dear life?!

They’re the real crusaders of education.

Godefroy de Montmirail, Count of Montmirail, Apremont and Papincourt and Jacquasse la Crasse are back.

These days teachers don’t have any support from either the school admins or the parents so this isn’t so far fetched unfortunately. ;/

They couldn’t find any Kevlar.

Good start but the blind spots leave them vulnerable.

… it’s not enough! … but it’s a start!

(I almost called a Green Plaid Alert, but it’s blue. Rats!)

Avoiding the comment section on this one today.

Standard armor for dealing with kindergartners

I know there are some schools where the students present a danger, but I think that armor is mostly to protect them from the fanatics who invade their schools armed with AR-15’s. (Not that it would help much against those weapons.) Most teachers and former teachers I know would bring protective gear for their students, too.

yeah, I thought as much… :J

Not a bad marketing idea. Sadly, I’m thinking tiny tot body armor is not a bad investment. …so sad

Oh? Are they wearing bulletproof vests under their armor?

“None shall pass”.

If they teach at a magnet school, they will stick to the building.

Bulletproof?

No swords?…..

I went to Catholic school, an Elementary school ran by nuns and a high school ran by priests (both Augustinians), the nuns were much more strict. My mom tried to teach Music in an LAUSD school decades ago, she quit after two weeks because of the lack of respect towards authority by the students of the school, she then went to Ramona Convent in Los Angeles CA which sadly closed after the Northridge earthquake because it was prohibitively expensive to fix and ran their music department. In her experience, kids who go to private/Catholic schools have better behaved students, makes sense when parents pay a tuition and the school provides much better academics and deportment.

Brilliant! Great art today, I’m delighted, and funny too…

No, I’m not funny your comic is funny…

Is the armor bulletproof?

are they wearing white satin under their armor? They may be feeling Moody Blues

I wonder if they are teaching knight school.
