Has anyone here used ComicLife? I'm thinking of using it for a class. It's kinda cool... but.... hmm.....
Also fun, Comic Creator. Not as fun as the one we were all using (which one was that?) a bit back, but more friendly to kids stuff.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Love me some ComicLife. The kids I had in class last year seemed to do alright with it, and we're talking 5th graders (the ones who used it a lot were, anyway)

My Joss is a Bengal, I think. With overly-healthy teeth and claws.
I really desperately want a new book. What teacher wants to buy me a discounted romance novel? Tell the cashier that it's for the children. I am quite capable of looking 14 if that's necessary.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Alibelle, I will bring in some of the books we are getting rid of on Monday. Don't think there are any romance novels, but maybe youi'll find sometthing to interest you. And you can't beat the price!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I wish I counted as a teacher. I mean, the people I teach formally are just one year out of high school, and I seem to be one of the only people in the math department who actually likes working with younger kids, so I'm tutoring a few middle-schoolers. And I know I get paid significantly less than most teachers. But no discount for me.

Aw, I'm sorry Hil.
I have no idea why people who teach at universities don't count as teachers. That makes no sense to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dude, if I'm a teacher, you guys are getting shafted. My sister (university lecturer too) got her discount with two different cashiers, as did I.
Don't know when i get sprung. Maybe tomorrow afternoon. That'll give me two more doses.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Man I've been in three different bookstores with two different teachers who forgot their IDs and none of those clerks would give them discounts.
