The library is hosting two second grade Junior Achievement classes. The volunteer teacher was attempting to explain taxes to a group of mostly bi-lingual students, many of whose parents don't pay taxes.
Teacher "What does the Tax Man Collect? "
Student "The TAKS test".
Actually in their little world the TAKS Test Agency brings up as much fear and trepidation as the IRS does to ours!

Have a happy Easter!
That's perfect.
I'm feeling very Beatle-y:
"'Cause I'm the TAKS man! Yeeeeeahhh! I'm the TAKS man! Ah- Ah! Guv'nor Goodhair! Ah-Ah! Gov'nor Shrub! TAKS Man!"
I remember in elementary school and junior high, the biggest threat we heard for bad behavior was, "this will go on your permanent record."
Turns out no one cares if I got caught drinking beer in 9th grade lunch.
Turns out the IRS would care if I didn't hand in my homework on time or if I screwed it up.
Talk about permanent records....
