the annals of pedagogy: 10.05
What is the appropriate response when, as
you are rushing to the crowded theatre where you are to introduce a visiting
artist to his audience (and you are already a bit
en
retard!), a young red-headed man
shouts out, "Phoebe, I love
you!" Now, understand that this
young man was a student of yours last semester, and a good one. He is surrounded
by a bevy of other young people, whom you recognize as former students as
well.

a student of mine,
Warner
Slititious King
Washington II, has moved to New York, where he was promptly identified as one of
the Best Dressed Men on Campus by Playboy magazine.
Unfortunately, he still has not finished an assignment begun in one of my
classes.

what indignities I suffer!
I myself can not understand the extent of the
damage without surmising what others might opine, and to do so is beyond the
scope of my desire.

not good.
i have a nearly unbearable pain that
has something to do with a frustrated drive to create, and it hurts physically,
even. my heart... the pain is in my heart. maybe i will die. i am a teacher.
why? to teach well is to give oneself to a receptive mind, but to give so much
leaves me empty and numb, without enough time to think or to feel or to express
what needs to be expressed. i will die if i cannot create, i will die and keep
on living. it's unbearably sad.

Apparently Phoebe Gloeckner (A CHILD'S LIFE) was on 360 , an NPR magazine style show the other day.

I was listening to NPR last
night and on the program Studio 360, I was shocked to hear how mercilessly
Phoebe Gloeckner was treated. Of course, when one of the guests was Michael
Medved, you can be sure there will be some discussion of its “lack of
merits,” but as someone who respects her work as anything but
pornographic, I was troubled by how even the liberal skewing host and other
guest were rather dismissive, going so far as to suggest that publishing comics
in the public arena isn’t an appropriate place to work out one’s
personal issues. ?!?! Anyway, it’s a 10 minute segment towards the end of
this week’s program. There’s also a nice interview with Gloeckner
herself.
