I have mentioned before that Blossom's teacher is a dead ringer for Ms Frizzle from The Magic School Bus series; in look and in personality. If you insist that every living minute of your child's school day is spent on practising for academic competitions then this teacher is not for you.
If, however, you love a teacher who loves teaching, appreciates all children and their differences and will change the structure her day around an article in the newspaper then you will think she's wonderful.
She is, however, a bit ditzy. She forgets stuff, doesn't hand out notes and completely ignores most instructions from the Principal.
Like, for instance, the Stage 2 school performance yesterday. All year four classes were asked to perform a play, dance or song demonstrating their knowledge of the solar system.
But Ms Frizzle either didn't hear, or completely ignored, that instruction. So...
Blossom's class performed a dance routine to Razzle Dazzle from Chicago. Oh yes, the full box n dice - feather boas, boys in jaunty hats, canes and girls performing snappy high leg kicks*.
Priceless.

Margot would absolutely adore her .
So would I.
She sounds like my sort of a gal!
I love her.
That's hysterical! Either Keira will have to move schools (& have a long commute) or we'll have to 'recruit' her!!
