...many students, the thought of going to section as opposed to enjoying the increasingly warm weather is enough to make them cringe. The prospect of attending a section in which the Teaching Fellow has an accent so pronounced that it is challenging to understand even the simplest phrases is even more unappealing. Even when the problem is not the language itself, many foreign TFs have trouble understanding things like extracurricular commitments and why students occasionally eat in class...
...Washington, middle schoolers would be paid for a portfolio of five different metrics, including attendance and good behavior. If they hit perfect marks in every category, they could make $100 every two weeks. Schools in Dallas got the simplest scheme and the one targeting the youngest children: every time second-graders read a book and successfully completed a computerized quiz about it, they earned $2.

...every weaker moment or duller joke, however, there are a handful of stellar performances that make “Commie Dearest” a delight to watch. Murray delivers every joke so naturally that even some of the simplest ones end up standing out: “Life is like a cereal, it comes in a box and it’s called Life.” Cone’s performance is consistently strong, from his ridiculous Russian accent to his ludicrous facial expressions and gestures. Dancewicz and Klyce perform a duet, “Let the Men Handle...
