I must have been thinking about <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1082886/" rel="nofollow">this movie</a>, where the wackness is definitely not a good thing for a teacher to have!

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 03:22:27 +0000 http://gothamschools.org/?p=21190#comment-173535 I propose Miss (not Ms.?) Brave be heralded as "Her Wackiness." I mean that as a good, er baad, thing. And I'm going to leave the "h" out, given a google search pinged 10 times as often with as without, in a bad context (one "a"), as in per Whitney Houston channeling Keith Haring, "Crack is whack," though Keith did not use the "h" and I think Houston and Haring were of like mind on the subject. To be clear, I "propose that," not "propose to"... miss-ness notwithstanding, not to mention the courageous Mr. Brave-to-be. (There may be no Ms. M., but there is a Ms. C.) New Yawk needs more like her, him, and them. All three. Wackiness works for me. (Note to self: Next time, decaf.) I propose Miss (not Ms.?) Brave be heralded as “Her Wackiness.”

(I checked the link.) One thing I've learned from the kids is "wack" (whack?), as in, "Miss, this test is wack," or some such. It didn't seem right that a teacher would rue a loss of wackness. But wacky, I can understand. That quality can help. Miss Brave isn’t losing her “wackness,” but her “wackiness”! (I checked the link.)
