About school, teachers and our educational system.

 

All of these jokes come from a variety of sources, since I own so many joke books.
I ask that you do not copy these for your website or submit them to sites asking
for jokes. Why?  I spent money buying the books and time going through them all.
I feel other webmasters should invest time and money in their sites rather than sponge off others.
I also  make no money and so I only ask for some respect.  Thanks.
