A few quotes from my middle school math teacher. Judging by the selection, she was simultaneously a poet, a soldier, and a Hero of Socialist Labor.
Inspired by this
All quotes are verbatim, thanx Tolyan
You solved it poorly my daughter, I recommend you listen
(Inside the physicist a poet died)
If some Latvian looked at my notes: I make up words myself and write them.
(The poet has definitely died)
You evoke no sympathy, no love, nothing
(Then again, maybe not)
A good memory remembers forever and until spring
(Perhaps not a poet, but a warrant officer?)
On the chalkboard you won't be deceived
(In the army neither)
Nobody will forgive you for using formulas
(What formulas? Everything must be done by the book!)
Let's feel up this example
(Porn-geometry?)
Any bodies, even human ones, can be sectioned
(Horror-geometry)
You need to be cut up like in those detective stories, then you'll understand that you've been completely cut up
(Continuing the theme)
I don't see your guts, which means you have to draw them invisibly
(Physiology on the march)
Speak, I'm not scaring you
(Now that's debatable)
I've been slim my whole life because I work my ass off
(On the health benefits of labor)
You should carry books. Your butt will get slimmer
(Continuing the theme)
You have to work faster, or someone will steal your husband
(On the benefits of labor for your personal life)
The smell of wet rags is very untasty
(And the smell of burnt rags is very funny)
Move your brains, not your mouth!
(Make love, not war)
Lost the rag? Walk toward my voice
(Alone in the dark)
What should a high schooler know when they graduate? The cross-section of a sphere by a plane
(Can't argue with that . . .)
You are the masters of your notebook
(Let's end on this life-affirming note)
