Lalalala Lonnie

What a pleasure and delight to see on KAKE 10 news last night that dear Coach Lollar has been sacked. One worthless instructor out the window, 9 million more to go. Unfortunately, I cannot presume the wisdom of the Derby school board involved noticing that Mr. Ladida most of the time could not even pronounce the name of the subject he was teaching. He threatened to fail a certain oboeist for writing that a question about who won the football game last night on a test about Africa’s geography was inappropriate.

No, because, as always in Derby, schools are not institutions of learning, but the burgeoning grounds for star athletes who have to waste all their time going to things called “classes.” Actually, by the frequent visitors to Lollar’s classroom, there wasn’t much of that, even.

I would like to presume, however, that it had something to do with those leery glances.

The parents, of course, are very angry about Lollar getting kicked in the boots. He’s such a great basketball coach! And how will my boy’s ego get over-inflated now, without an ego-inflated coach to guide him?! Derby’s reputation for excellence in basketball is ruined! It is not an unimportant observation that all who spoke in defiance of the decision were worried about what would happen to the team. Not one spoke about his ability as a teacher or aptitude for social studies.
