Education: Finding a Common Denominator



This fall Clayville Central welcomes back its very own Mike Edgars. Superintendent Bob Speed believes this will be a banner year for Clayville academics. "Edgars has an advanced college degree. Heck, for a few years there we were thinking about going the way of the Catholic schools and letting anybody teach."

Edgars apparently made his decision to return to Clayville after visiting his mother, who was briefly hospitalized after kicking a couch. Who else should happen to be in that hospital but Bob Speed. "I locked eyes with Mike and he wouldn't look away. Finally I said, 'I know you.' Then he said, 'No you don't.' We got it all ironed out though."

Baseball coach Drew Corns was less enthusiastic about Speed's decision to hire Edgars. "Teaching? I don't see it. The whole family has anger management problems--used to throw peanuts at my ballplayers."

Edgars will be teaching Intro to Math and Advance Mathematics. He declined our request for an interview.

The Eyes Have It


Edgars wants his students to think he's mean like his Dad was so they'll listen. But back in college I saved Mike from hiself. He was too smart to be cool. He scared me with all those baby animal posters he put up. So I had to stop that mess an teach him the "evil stare" you see in the photo. But God, please don't make brotha laugh. He giggles like a beach.

A Good Offense

I take personal offence at what Bob Speed said about the Catholic Schools. I had good Teachers that did alot for us. I wood like to see Mister Speed learn some manners. I geuss they do not teach that in Pubic Schools.
