Girl: Here's my worksheet. I had to stay up way past my bedtime to finish it. Mrs. Olsen: Not my concern. Girl: What happened to Mrs. Show-your-work? Frazz: Would you show the part about diddling around on Facebook until it got late?
Brings me back to the good old days of worksheets produced via mimeograph (alas, some of you will have to Google it) — I wonder just how many brain cells were lost while I sniffed the noxious fumes that accompanied our daily serving.
