   Does anyone find it odd that every character reels off Eiffel’s full name all the time? Like “Ann Eiffel” is some kind of formal title.

   For someone who’s wealthy and should be wary of attracting the attention of gold-diggers and con-artists, Tom is pretty naive. “I need to confront her!” …or… he could do a little background checking like most people with that kind of money do when someone new shows up. But up till now, he’s portrayed as being a very gullible fool to soon be parted with his money.

   High school, some? What state did you teach in? In my Midwestern state, Secondary Ed (high school teaching to the rest of you :) ) was its own degree, took 4 – 5 years and required more coursework in the subject, computer science in my case, than majoring in the subject itself.

   Ah the TA. It’s not a job, it’s an indenture.

   While primary and secondary school teachers go through 4-5 years of college to get a degree in Education, to teach at the college/university level, most often all one needs is an advanced degree- a Masters or PhD in the field. It’s (erroneously) assumed that somewhere along the line, the professor just figured out how to teach on their own. And if you look back on your own college experience, you can probably name a dozen or more instructors where their lack of educational training really showed.

   >>must art be so pretentious?Yes, because it no longer requires discernible talent. My kids’ 5th-grade class studied Jean Baptiste Basquiat, a talentless but equally-flaky contemporary of Andy Warhol, and tried to duplicate one of his “signature” pieces. Unless the entire middle school class are professional art forgers, there was no visible distinction between their work in the school’s hallway and the Basquiat’s original – except the price-tag of course.
