The following are among the responses generated by last week's editorial, "Education's mirth dearth," which invited readers to proffer theories on why educators are a solemn bunch. [See http://www.edexcellence.net/gadfly/issue.cfm?issue=35#1480.]
There once were teachers who joked,
With humor and fun, they coped,
But national experts stepped in,
Said our test scores were dim,
And into more work we were roped!
