Kid chewing on her bangs...

Like his drawing?

cher•ub
a winged angelic being described in biblical tradition as attending on God. It is represented in ancient Middle Eastern art as a lion or bull with eagles' wings and a human face, and regarded in traditional Christian angelology as an angel of the second highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy.

Silly me as a silly kid.

Next time I might try using acetate instead of crappy printer paper, results should be better...

Luckily it's relevant so I can share it without a guilty conscience. Possibly a good source of ideas for things our teacher character could be doing wrong.



Also, Punch and Judy done by Jan Svankmajer, the same fellow who made Dimensions of Dialogue. Punch and Judy shows were done with hand puppets about a character who continually avoided punishment for his deeds. It's the same inspiration for the Mr. Punch book I brought in to show today.

And pictureless post, but here are some of my teachers that I remember being particularly terrible.

Grade 5, Mme Emard: I swear she's actually the woman we're talking about, but like 40 years younger. I'd started taking private art lessons and had just finished my first project. I was really proud of it (and like ... 9 years old) and brought it in to show people. I don't think I was bragging about it, but I was really happy with it so I guess I must have been showing a lot of people... After class she took me aside and told me that it was really basic and not that good, and that I should get off my high horse. Also she could barely draw.

Grade 4, M. Eveillard: He yelled a lot for no good reason. Once he told a kid he didn't like that they were exactly like Gaston. Another time in recess he refused to help a girl who was getting rocks thrown at her, because his yard duty shift was over.

Grade 5, Mr. Laughland: If people spoke one word during lunch time he would write their name on the board and make them stay inside with the lights off during recess. He was really bad-tempered in general.

Monica
Kindergarden

- She would do an activity right at the end of class and wouldn't let students go to recess until they gave the correct answer. Half our recess was gone.
-She confiscated my most precious toy, and lost it!


Marcela
Kindergarden

-She went berserk when she saw how messy my desk was, so she threw all my folders and notebooks into the floor while screaming at me in front of the whole class.

No visuals, just some quirks and stories I remember of some of my elementary school teachers...


Kindergarten, Mme Marionde
Would make us draw the weather everyday but would yell at you if you drew the sun in the corner of the page or gave it rays because "it's not realistic". Good luck to you if you did both.
Would also make everyone who bought a 35¢ carton of milk drink it all. If you didn't, you could still go to recess, but you had to drink the disgustingly warm stuff once the bell rang. Every last drop.

Grade 1, Mme Stella
Lost it and cut off part of this one girl's bangs because she would have it in her mouth all the time.

Grade 2, Mme Hélène
Would make us say a prayer every morning. In a public school.

Grade 7, Mme Alfreda
Would sit on her desk during the morning announcements played on the intercom and cut her fingernails with these big scissors. You could see them flying everywhere.
