     Just found this term paper I had done for a post-grad education course... 20 years ago!! By the term's end, interest in teaching had disappeared behind a jaundiced antipathy toward a generation I was destined not to teach. All I had left to offer my prof for finals was this sarcastic and satirical look at the teenage product of affluent suburbia.
     Instead of the expected "F", I got a high grade with the proviso that I promise never to become a teacher. Scribbled in red ink on the front page were my professors's words:
"The funniest prose I've read, since Woody Allen's piece for The New Yorker!!" Bad news for Woody, since this IS a term paper, but I do think its pretty funny. What do ya think??
