Annie: Kate, remember to look in your desk and chair. I remember
once
we had this student teacher... Some of the kids put rubber cement all
over her chair. Kate: Thanks for the tip. I seem to remember having considerable
respect for that person standing in front of the room... Doug: Pointer in hand... Buddy: Oh, kids are different now than back in the olden
days. Kate: The invention of the wheel helped.
Kate: Remember you said there's always somebody who tries to
test you?
To see who's boss? You were right. That's just what Philip Ogden was
doing.
Well, he got his answer; he's boss. I concede. Doug: And that's that? Kate: I guess my ability to deal with kids is restricted to my
own back yard.
