I think 'Tank' and I might become well acquainted, Can't wait to meet him in class, he seems like a friendly fellow.

Ah... perhaps Tank should meet George, my classroom assistant. He, too, carries a big... stick:

Ever read Janet Evanovich? She has a HUGE character named Tank. I think he would be an appropriate assistance especially if you need someone permanently put out of their own misery. He can be very protective of people he likes.

I teach school in a place where everybody knows your name. Our kids are raised without a city mentality. They are mostly basketball players or farmboys. Last year, a couple of junior boys were involved in an incident. These boys were good friends and just playing around. Boy #1 gets his pocketknife out and has it open.
