Still ill


One of my students is a boy from a strict Southern Baptist family. The two of us have problems because he doesn't understand my assignments because he talks all class period long. He is a very curious boy.

He asked me once about the Morrissey & Marr poster I have up behind my desk- about why the two seemed to be in embrace. "They're in love," I replied.

His mother popped into class the other day, to check on me and how obviously I abuse her son, singling him out, threatening him, making him feel unwanted. She sat there in glare, nose upturned.

As she left, she spotted the poster, and then looked to me. She was horrified.

Let's review my purchase:
Morrissey poster: 7.99 British Pounds
Shipping and Handling: 10.00 British Pounds
Look on Her Face: Priceless. Extremely priceless.
