You know, Teachers have to go Back To School too.
I wonder how they feel about that?
Not as miserable as I was, I’ll bet, lol!
We will begin this musical look at Teachers with some words- funny words- from New York City’s own (the Bronx), and former NYC substitute teacher, Robert Klein.
Opening a very long set.
After that, well, there are Good Teachers and Bad Teachers- the ones we relate to are mostly fictional, we see them in movies or TV series.
The real GOOD ones toil anonymously, dedicated to their students, going well beyond the school day and their duties, and never getting much credit for it.
They should be celebrated.
As the true BAD teachers should be revealed.
How to do that, I leave to you.
I do music, and we begin our take on Good Teachers with a another comedian- whose standup routine was the idea for a television series.
To be continued…

Mike,
I’ve been humming “Welcome Back Kotter” to myself for a couple of days now. What a great theme song. I also have been remembering how much my friends and I loved that show in seventh grade. Each week the morning after Kotter aired, we’d more-or-less reenact the show at the bus stop and on the bus on the way to school.

Hey Guy, that humming may be because we are such big fans of woefully underappreciated John Sebastain.
The man could pull out a hook, couldn’t he?
What’s wrong with me?
I can’t remember ever reenacting any show, lol!
I must be strange.
Mike
