Post Academic

If you’ve ever been a teacher, sometimes the only thing you can do in a bad classroom situation is laugh. And if you’ve never laughed at one of your students … well … you’re probably lying. Al Jackson went into the teaching meat grinder came out a comedian.

Hey, most of my students were excellent, but I remember the goofy ones the most. In one of my composition classes, a student argued against organ donation with the following wise words: “Dead people will miss their organs when they’re gone.”

Yeah, sometimes students can be a pain in the ass at the time, but they might be great comedy material someday.
