cartoon

There are three students sitting in desks at work. The teacher is also sitting at a desk. On the black board in all capital letter the words "GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION" are written. The students seem to know what to do because they are at work, pencil in hand. The teacher is looking back at the audience shrugging. His mouth is in the shape of a squiggle. It appears that he does not have a clue about what grammar and punctuation is. The teacher is learning in the desks with the students and the students seem to know more than he does. The cartoon is showing the importance in having knowledgeable teachers. If the teacher is not teaching the class then who is? the book? How can students rely on their teachers if they do not know what to do either? The students may start to question weather or not what they are learning in class is important. If the teacher does not know it, why should they? The students also look prepared for class. they all have their pens and backpacks while the teacher has nothing on his desk.
