Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Hey! Here’s an unexpected opportunity!

We enjoyed the comments of Readers of yesterday’s Post.

(wait for it… need to context this before we commit to a topic today… ok, see the Comments at the bottom of this post. as PediaLibria*)

Given how we were the ones to go with the Teacher/Class scenario, the only reasonable approach with today’s post is to go with ‘the Everything Rule’: occupation/avocation/profession of teacher.

Damn!

We all got an ‘F’ on (our writing/responses) to yesterday’s Post.

Full Disclosure: Had not anticipated our doing such a poor job of presenting the one thing… the one thing, that ever one focus’d on to address in their Comments. What we, your Curator, must now come to grips with is… our reaction to this turn of events. (clarks reading this will, no doubt be typety-typling… “Now don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s only one post.” (or scotts) “Hey! Chill out. It’s only one fuckin’ post among, what 18? lol ok 3,000… but who’s counting?” (or) (rogers) “Hate to tell you this, but it’s not that big a deal. You’re no different than the rest of us. We’ll forgive you.”

ok! direct response: One of the miracles/gifts of the Wakefield Doctrine, (vis á vis being a clark) is that, when it comes to the normal self-consciousness reaction to public failure, (‘we all got an F’) from the first post of this blog, we were been given a pass. (In the words of very early Doctrine posts: ‘Bad post? Write another one. Bury that sucker’)

That said, we totally value/appreciate our correspondent’s time, effort and participation. No matter what.

This occupation per the Everything Rule: clarklike teachers? kindergarten up to mid-elementary/college; scottian teachers? high school phys.ed./shop/vice principle and rogerian teachers: junior high/high school

As to our poorly set-up question yesterday, the one involving addition and such? We suspect that a better way to frame the question would be: 2+2=? Properly done it will distinguish a clark from a roger:

‘What’s two plus two?

• scott: (laughing) “You fuckin’ clarks“
• roger: “Four!”
• clark: “In what context?”

ok recess, binyons

1. cai:Thank you for giving me a guest appearance.
   I meant I have to search for my herd who understand the basics of outbound linking and receiving external links.
   Like you mentioned before, anyone has a mix of all three personality traits. I tried to appeal to a trait in there who can take a fancy to a method. :)
   I understand the message. For a short time, I was dealing with some realtime ruckus in my corner of woods. Hopefully I can resume reading & commenting again.
2. Mimi: Two-two, of course. ;)
3. Misky: Depends. If it’s 2 drops of water plus 2 drops of water then it equals 1 puddle.
