YOU, ME AND WE
John Berger, the principal, encountered a ninth grade boy walking out of room 209 with a dour expression on his face. The concerned principal asked the boy, “And how are we today?” The boy replied, “Awful. I don’t understand all that stuff the math teacher wants us to learn — all those logarithms and postulates and stuff.” The principal said smoothly and comfortingly, “Well, I’m sure we can’t find it all that bad, can we?” The boy huffed back, “Well, sure we can say that! Because the you half of we doesn’t have to learn that stuff all over again with the me half of we.”
