52/365 Another Barry

You loved him or hated him. He taught advanced grammar and comp classes, the stuff of myth and weltanschauung. He said in 5 years some of us would be married with children. He was right. When we acted up, he’d yell, People! Play school!

Sounds like a teacher who got results, whether you loved or hated him. "Play school" what a great catch phrase.

Love the line, "People! Play school!"
Really brings Barry to life!

Funny. I want to write the blurb on the back of your book.

It must be the air in Vermont. Great stuff.

"People - Play School!"

love it, love it, love it

I have a feeling I'll adopt some version of this on those days at work, when I'm up-to-here with distractions ... great stuff

I definitely was in the "loved him" camp. Play school! pretty much cinched it.
