My
9-year-old son was recently given a homework assignment to use certain
vocabulary words in a sentence, including the word “enjoyable.” He came up with
this gem: “It was not enjoyable watching Kentucky beat Louisville.”
The
paper was returned with a perfect grade and an unexpected editorial comment.
His teacher, apparently a misguided UK fan, wrote, “Yes it was” next to his special
sentence. Not taking this lightly, Clark scribbled out the remark before he
even got home.
Normally,
I wouldn’t encourage such blatant disregard for authority, but I made an
exception this time since the pupil has so clearly exceeded the master.
