Here's another fool to pity.
I blame the softening of teachers. When they were hard as nails and always
ready to attack you with exercise books, rubbers, pieces of chalk, they were
crystal clear that the phrase was, “Oh so that’s what you think is it sonny
Jim? Well you’ve got another think coming.”
And though they may have flung a thing, it was always done so that you could
reflect on your misdeads, omissions, etc. until the error of your ways became
apparent, or you hit upon a suitable plan for revenge, or both.
