Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine! Please find a seat. You will see a Blue Test booklet on every desk, please do not break the seal on the booklet until you have been instructed to do so.
Yes, the Wakefield Doctrine does have a very practical value to all you Readers out there who are currently Students or may be Students or are planning to become Students!
In today’s Post we will present the Wakefield Doctrine in a form that will allow you to get the most from your experience in the classroom, no matter if it is a College-level course: Introduction to the Peloponnesian Wars or a High School ‘Health’ Class, the Wakefield Doctrine can help. Today. Right Now!
Let’s focus on the environment found in High School, simply because this is where the Doctrine will provide the most dramatic and immediate relief and or help for Readers of that age/milieu (big props for any of you who are in High School and are reading this here blog here.)
The Teachers:
clarks:
- if they are clarklike females then they will be found teaching the elementary grades, if male then most likely college level teaching
- in high school the teacher that betrays the ‘Code of Teachers’ and shows a side of themselves that makes it clear that they are ‘real people’
- if watched closely, (the clarklike Teacher) will be caught laughing at the antics of the class clown ( the scott, of course) but still give him detention
- if a scottian male, then they are the shop teacher or gym teacher (Mother of God! what are the authorities thinking!!)
- if a scottian female then the French Teacher… if not (attractive) …so the phys ed teacher
- the scottian female Teacher, is also the mostly likely name to appear on the boy’s room wall (but who’s ‘honor’ will be vociferously defended) if anyone ( a roger ) makes a wisecrack about her
- if a rogerian male, then the science teacher, if female then the School Nurse
- most of the History Department ( except for the clark they let in for distraction value)
- Health class, Personal Hygiene Civics Class and/or head of the Cafeteria staff
- the one who makes the ‘wisecrack’ that everyone laughs at in class but no one is sure who said it?
- the girl that is admired by the Teachers and the Senior Classmen (and someone said she was going out with a college kid)
- you will, if you watch quietly from the side, see clarks everywhere, but never by themselves (if they are by themselves, you won’t see them)
- you’re kidding, right? if we need to tell you how to spot the scotts in your high school, then you need to… go back to grade school! lol
- the two guys who get into a fight, right in the middle of the cafeteria? (and are the best of friends after the fight is over)..scotts
- the girl who is totally the center of almost everything…and if she happens to get straight As nobody seems to remember that fact?
- most of the population, easily 45 damn percent…rogers! they’re all over the frickin place
- (most) of the members of every team or any sport or activity that requires the individual to totally depend on teammates or coaches
- the head of every frickin club except the ones that no one joins (thats where you’ll find the ‘outgoing’ clarks)
I’m wishing I knew enough about my high school teachers to really think this through… The only teacher I knew well was the PE teacher — she was most certainly a scott, though she also taught English. I do believe the other English teacher was also a scott. Besides being beautiful, she didn’t care that she couldn’t spell — one of the best teachers I ever had.
My shop teacher was also the guidance counselor and the man who mapped out the bus route… I’m guessing he was a roger, by the sweaters he wore — you know, the Bill Cosby look. Of course, it was a very small school.
If I had to guess, I would say my Science teacher was a Clark. In many ways, he made his own rules, interacted only on his terms, and was respected by everyone.
…”English teacher was also a scott. Besides being beautiful, she didn’t care that she couldn’t spell…”
Can I get an Amen! ( at the risk of repeating myself, “what a Doctrine, if we didn’t already have a lot of this stuff, it would write itself” lol)
…that a scott is a good English Teacher without having to be able to spell…how perfect is that? My favorite are the (scottian) cooks on cooking shows… incredible showmen…but food and utensils fly everywhere during the show…the stovetop is crusted with burnt offerings but they are still the star…
cool
You have it down pat there Molly just one thing……”the other English teacher was also a scott. Besides being beautiful, she didn’t care that she couldn’t spell — one of the best teachers I ever had”….. I also could not resist quoting (a little more) of your comment . LOL Classic.
A fun exercise today!
