The kids have gone back to school again, and it occurs to me that this year is the first that I don't have any children in school in a quarter-century. Yeah, they grow up fast, but they stay in school as long as they can. Anyway, a video from Charlie Berens popped up about teachers. Berens is best known at Neatorama for illustrating life in the American Midwest. The accent is still there, but the experience he relates here is universal. He completely captures the gym teacher, the cool teacher, the art teacher, and the substitute teacher in every school. They are exactly the same as they were 50 years ago when I was a student- I can even name the names from my days as a student, from my friends who became teachers, and as the parent of students. You know these folks, even if you haven't been to school in a long time.

I knew that bubbler was a regional term for water fountain, but this is the first time I've heard someone actually use it. So I'm guessing Wisconsin? ... Yup! "Charlie was born and raised in Wisconsin."
