I love it! And I love the new banner--nice work, Sam!
Then there's evaluation strategies Part II, for the *really* desperate. Attractive, thin, fashionable people tend to be rated more highly than their counterparts, unfortunately. (Though not TOO trendy, mind!) So for the REALLY REAALLY desperate, there's the liposuction option, or the appointment with the plastic surgeon during Spring Break, or the date with the fashionista, or all three. Of course, there's also the psychiatric appointments for the aftermath: high bills, self-loathing for giving in to stereotypes, etc. (Tongue is firmly planted in cheek.)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the "punchline" panel. That is an accurate portrayal of many of my colleagues and their attempts at connecting with the kids. They deliver the punchline so wildly transparently that the kids just laugh at the effort, not the joke.
Tex, that is a great question! I teach rooms full of 20-year-old men and women, the majority of whom now sport plastic bracelets made for 6-year-olds. Hmm.
Maybe I should start putting stickers on their papers when they get good grades. Old-school gold stars, anyone?
Oh, Sammy, I almost used stickers at Safety School U! I am sure the students who got silver stars would have bitched about not getting gold ones. It would have hurt their self-esteem.
Thanks to Sam for the new banner. We'll rotate it and others as we go.
ReplyDeleteI love Sam's cartoons.
