Said dolt had no idea of when I was working or not (including,

given his complaint a minute of thought.

Frank, from your tone of posting I can only assume that you're referring to me.

No, Tom, it wasn't you. I guess you can take some small comfort in the

But you might ask yourself what sort of dean would be satisfied with ANY teacher's work? It is a dean's job to never be happy with the work of anyone under him and to always work for improvements.

Education is a good thing. It's the schools and the teachers that have
become the problem.

I once decided that my kids should memorize  the "times tables" that
most housewives know, 10 eggs priced at 12 cents a dozen...

And after being threatened with "death and destruction" (no money for
the Saturday Movies) they did memorize them. One day at school the
oldest boy casually said to the teacher something like "well 7 for,
one so... 6 x 7 is 42". The teacher sent me a letter almost literally
demanding that I stop trying to teach my kids as I wasn't a trained
teacher.... My wife refused to let me attend the parent-teacher
meetings. :-)
