I'm sure some readers will assume that I'm slamming students and young people in today's strip.  Let me assure you, I'm not.  The issue here is something else that's "sucking" the life out of education.

McCarthy's Law #99

The more paperwork we produce "proving" that we're good teachers, the less time we have actually being good.

I've tried creating a single image with all four panels both in a block like this one above and in a strip format, but Blogger always reduces it to screen size.  This is the best I can do until I move to my own doman (which I'm investigating).
