I pulled my "Middle School Teacher" hat out of retirement, and pretended that I was writing a lesson plan for my students.

Did I use the phrase non sequitur properly? I don't think that I've ever used in its written form before today.

If you truly aspire for the status of hipster, you must employ the current trendy term "ELI5".

Translated as 'explain like I'm five' years old.

Non sequitur is apropos.

Miss McGillicuddy would mark you down for misspelling the past participle of 'to write', and have you march to the blackboard to write it at least 100 times, in your best cursive.

Been there. Done that. When "after school" (now it's called detention) for misbehavior, Mr. MacNeck, my fifth grade teacher, would have us write, "My Manners Need Improving.", on the blackboard as many times as he saw necessary.

Whenever a HC wants a Foul for a poorly set "moving screen" in which there was no contact I always tell him/her that this is not soccer where the penalty for Obstruction is an Indirect Freekick.

Our Gang (also known as The Little Rascals).

The Gang's teacher before Miss Crabtree.
