“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.”

“… I saw two rare beetles and seized one in each hand; then I saw a third and new kind, which I could not bear to lose, so that I popped the one which I held in my right hand into my mouth. Alas it ejected some intensely acrid fluid, which burnt my tongue so that I was forced to spit the beetle out, which was lost, as well as the third one.”

- Charles Darwin, naturalist, on his love of collecting beetles

Real teaching leaves a mark.

School is in session at Harrison High, and our schedule is packed: English with Stroope (this year, the prestigious “Teacher of the Year” award will be his); History with Lowrey (I hear this is his first year teaching); and P.E. with Coach Webb (“Not all P.E. teachers are gay.”). Mike Akel’s mockumentary was developed through improvisation from start to finish, and edited together from more than 60 hours of footage.
