   When I was in high school, they used to throw short-term student teachers at us to practice their real-world classroom techniques. Some passes, some fails. One spectacular fail was a hapless guy who had a classroom full of college-bound A students descend into unbridled anarchy. He was called out of the classroom to the front office, only to have our real teacher, observing from the hallway, come into the room and give us holy hell. Deservedly. I disagree that the strip mocks teaching. Student teachers, sure. Low-hanging fruit.

   The word du jour is “trigger,” and you just never know when something will trigger you. I had the honor and pleasure to be a guest of the Navy aboard the CVN Enterprise at sea. Tail hook landing, all-day tour during flight ops, nice lunch. Then a catapult launch, which can only be described as violent. What a great day, and memory.
