Apparently I’m a “visionary ecumenist” now: I’m not sure I like that. Isn’t that usually a species of heretic?
Anyway, I am reading the Iliad, so they got that one right.

Another good reason why I’m not a public school teacher any longer…

The main reason I’m not still a public school teacher is I once asked a fat kid if he could retain anything besides water. My character deficiencies are far outweighed by the public school system, though, as you can see by this news story:
N.Y. Teacher on Leave for Soapy Punishment – a teacher washes a 3rd grader’s mouth out with soap after the “10-year-old boy directed ‘a vile, very nasty sexual reference’ at a third-grade girl in March.” The teacher got suspended indefinitely.
