My wife teaches middle school.

She has students that tell her that she can teach them nothing
worthwhile, since they can make more money on a street corner in a
weekend than she makes in a month. They are neither lying nor
exaggerating.

They are much more profitable than she is, but she thinks they are
wrong.

So, should I tell her that she is mere envious of the more successful,
or just disdainful of her students?


I lasted only ten years, by which time I was totally sick of 8th
graders.

Everybody wave the flag and get out your hankies.


I think a group of 4th graders would eventually be able to intimidate the
old man to the point of him begging to teach preschoolers. No wonder he
retired.
