I am a teacher (High school math, formerly English and History), and I cannot find this amusing. I remember being 9 and getting mad when a teacher was wrong. Germany isn’t landlocked Mrs. Hampton!

They should cast a monkey sidekick. the ratings will skyrocket. That idea is free, AMC.

One of our semi-permanent substitute middle school teachers quit after the harassment the 7th grade boys gave her. She was in her 20s and pretty and made the absolute mistake of saying she used to work as a bartender. That was apparently scandalous and transformed to a story about her being a prostitute/stripper. She…

A lot of young idealistic people head into the inner cities with the idea that they can use reason, persuasion, and a demonstration of their own love of learning to get kids to take an interest in school. Unfortunately, it usually doesn’t work. Most teachers get spit out after several years or, like this one, wind up…

Wow. I wish my sister, who was murdered by her female intimate partner, could have read this. She might still be alive.

That's what actual renovators of children's tales like Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl did.

I really can't wait for this "let's make everything a bit darker and more orange and blue" moviemaking phase to pass. Maybe if the economy ever gets really good again, we might get more optimistic, fun movies that don't try to add "gravitas" or whatever bullshit to everything possible.

By sleeping with his eyes open while he stands in an underground vault. That would be my guess.

I recently read the old vanity fair article which (apparently) first brought these allegations to light. It was a disgusting read and he comes across as more of a predator than ever. Mia points out in that article that his whole defense on his relationship with soon-yi was 'i wasn't her father! I never even lived…

The parts of his personal life that he admits to proudly are profoundly disturbing. That there are worse parts he won't admit to is not surprising to me. I make it a point every time someone mentions Woody Allen to bring up his marriage; the rationalization from people I view as smart and empathetic is so upsetting.…

Mandatory showers for all 6th graders. I don't care that you don't think you smell. MANDATORY.
