Good Puppet Movement!!
FOUND by Amanda in Georgia
I found this on the hallway floor of my high school last year. The critique was written on the back of an admission slip. I thought it was really amusing how enthusiastic the teacher was in everything he/she wrote and at the end he/she has this sympathetic disclaimer to the presentation.

Was her score 96 or did she have more than 96 lines?

Dummies/puppets automatically make me think of the Twilight Zone Episode with Frank Sutton managing the schizphrenia vantriloquist.

I am glad to see that "A lot" is spelled correctly as two separate words in this find. What a nice change.

I'd say the school really had cut backs if the wroter is giving the notes on back of an admission slip- no funds for notebooks ?.

Isn't it a violaton of the person's privacy -giving one students' information (via an admission slip)to another student ?

That's what I love about Found. I get to be all nit-picky ! LOL !

P.S. I agree that both monkeys and clowns can be quite alarming at times.I was scared of Talking Tina when I was a kid.

My typos crack me up -LOL. That's supposed to be "writer" not "wroter" (but I kinda like the word "wroter").

Michelle, I love being nit-picky, too...

Please, try schizophrenic and ventriloquist.

...one student's information.

The only thing I find strange about this find is that you have a puppeting class at your high school. Not in a bad way, like, "Ew, what are they teaching kids now-a-days?!?!" I'm just saying. At my high school we don't have interesting classes like that. So it's pretty cool that you do.

I can't read the last part...
Well - you had a lot of lins????

I always found puppet shows to be very boring. Monkeys on the other hand...terrifying. I find moths (yes, moths) terrifying as well.

@melanie the last line says "Well you had a lot of lines."

I love the phrase "Good puppet movement".

In my senior year of high school I had this English teacher that would have been great at teaching 4th graders. She got very excited like she was always speaking with exclamation points !!!!! and when we had group projects she encouraged puppet shows.

My drama class went to a competition this year and our "mini musical" entry was Avenue Q, which uses puppets. The students did a few songs from Avenue Q with their puppets. This sounds like something my drama teacher would write, and it looks like her handwriting. Unfortunately, I live in California, So it couldnt have been her.

I'm scared of clowns too. I'm phobic of paper towels and unfinished ceramic also.

Drama teachers have to write in the dark. Hence the handwriting.

I don't personally know too many people who are scared of clowns but I have one friend who has this uncanny fear of having a fuzzy peach near him. He hates peach fuzz.

@Smallbear ... yeah, but just try and buy good puppet toilet paper these days!

@Librarian: you just have to look on the "handy wipe" aisle.

I know someone who's afraid of peach fuzz too.

Handwriting looks just like my dyslexic cousin's. He's an architect, so he thinks spatially and conceptually more than verbally -- somewhat like a drama teacher no doubt.

(His Christmas and holiday cards always arrive months late, if at all, because the postman can't work out the address!)

I don't actually *hate* clowns or puppets, or ventriloquists' dolls, but every time they crop up in horror movies or TV shows (always with creepy musical-box accompaniment) I find it a mega turn-off.
