It began as the GODFATHER OF MATH, evolved into the GOODFATHER OF MATH. Now this. Go figure...

I Wouldn't Pay A Penny For This Photograph

________________________________________________________________________________________________



It is nothing personal about 
 
She is a teacher
who was a personal friend 
of mine
 
My higher concern
here is the student
facing Ms. Sweet:
   
LAKEISHA GARBUTT
is a former student of mine
with a
much higher developed
sense of Logic
than her classmates
a snob attitude
that privately appealed
to this Math teacher

The year she was
my student,
Her mother appeared
at my classroom door
four hours before
Parent-Teacher Night
and 
was delighted 
with the praise
I had for Lakeisha

We spent most of our time
talking about 
the mother's
 beautiful beret
 
The Los Angeles Times article
is a worthy read
for numerous reasons
and 
I will leave it
to YOU
to figure out
which drug-addicted 
mother inspired
the Lakeisha Garbutt story
that is
soon-to-be-a-screenplay,
according to Bettye Sweet
 

HOWEVER,
if anyone who can get
Ms. Garbutt
to contact her former
Math teacher...
 
I will pay that person
the price
Getty-Images is asking
 for the photo
(maybe)
