Socrates Gets the Pink Slip

And his teaching evaluations!

“seems lost for minutes at a time”

“personal hygiene needs work”

“kept touching me”

“lots of questions, no answers”

 

One time he showed up drunk.

Well, I could smell it on his breath.

I thought I’d stop by to see how he was doing.

He was telling them about his affair with this Greek housewife.

What’s that got to do with math?

 

The kids are talking back.

Their parents are upset.

"This is no way to train our future citizens."

"How will they get into a good school?"

"How will they get good jobs?"

 

So I called him into the office.

He wasn’t even wearing shoes.

I handed him his notice.

He folded it into a paper cup

and filled it at the water cooler.

 

Then he dumped it on my succulents.

 

I haven’t seen him since.
