Or at least I think it’s by Stephen King. Many years ago a professor read aloud a hysterical list of “classroom horrors” that I seem to remember was written by him (based on his career as a high school Englishteacher before Carrie allowed him to become a full-time writer). The horrors included such characters as
[ul]
[li]The Thing That Wouldn’t Shut Up[/li][li]The Thing that Wouldn’t Bathe[/li][li]The Thing That Wouldn’t Make a Relevant Comment[/li][/ul]
Unfortunately I have no idea when or where it was written (though it would have been before the mid 1980s and it was a short piece). Since it would still be under copyright I’m sure it’s not available online, but I would like to find a copy of the book or article it appeared in as a gift for a friend who’s having a rough first year as a high school teacher.
Thanks for any aide,
S
