STORY: A story going around
town at the moment. particularly
in school circles. is about the fond
rama who sent her little Cecil
10 school with a note telling
teacher just how TO treat him,
and ending up:
"And do not punish him. He
rover has been spanked. III he
-saculd do anything wrong, do not
slsp him. Slap the boy next ia
btIn. That win brighten Cecil
enough" -'
Only trouble with that story is
that it's so true to life that II
hurts. Ask any teacher.
