Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for December 05, 2023

You can’t finish what you can’t even start.

Last isn’t first

The prize is a degree in corner staring!

Even those accursed “standardized tests” take longer than 15 minutes to complete!!

Just a little bit of pedagogic pedantry … Nobody puts kids in the corner anymore, mostly because they discovered that public humiliation, while possibly satisfying to the teacher, doesn’t actually improve behavior or performance. It just makes students hate school more.

Bad time to choose to be totally honest, Nerwin…

When I was in the Navy, we would have FLASH quizzes. Five minutes to provide the answers AND the references down to the document page.

I wouldn’t have put him in the corner. I’d have handed him the textbook and told him to study.

So darn cute!

Or honesty.

Nerwin, now would be a good time to fart (silent but deadly, of course) for maximum dispersal. The heady aerosol would exquisitely project your current predicament.

Not allowed to punish students anymore. If anything, it would a trip a counselor.

Los Angeles Unified says that putting in corner is cruel and unusual punishment, humiliation in front of peers…

Notice the yamulke with the propeller: rebel against orthodoxy…

But, Nerwin, you have indeed received your reward for not knowing any of the answers. Contemplate that!
