2.) Are students who suck up to their teachers more likely to get a higher grade on blog assignments?
3.) Is Mr. Logsdon the best Language Arts teacher of the millennium?
3.) Well, we all know Mr. Logsdon is the best teacher in the school, and probably also the most versed in rhetoric and syntax, but the real question is, in the last 1,000 years, if a better English teacher has ever been sent down from the heavens to compete with Mr. Logsdon. And the answer to that, my friends, is no.
Mr. Logsdon exhibits all the traits of a great teacher. He's blindingly handsome and more than intelligent enough to teach gifted and talented high schoolers. In fact, Ernest Hemingway, Charles Dickens, and William Shakespeare were all taught by direct descendants or reincarnations of Mr. Logsdon. Their writing styles are all products of the ancestors of our humble teacher, and he is unarguably genetically superior to every other English teacher of all time, let alone the past 1,000 years.
What you probably didn't know was that Mr. Logsdon was delivered to the Greek Muses right after birth, for that his parents were killed during the Trojan War. There on Mount Olympus he lived and was taught about literature from the deities of writing and art. After maturing and proving superior to all other scholars who sought to best him in the art of prose, he graduated from every American college simultaneously with a perfect 4.0 and Ph.D in creative writing.

Not knowing what to do with his immense wealth accumulated from being what Time magazine calls "the writer of the millennium", he decided to pass on his knowledge to posterity to preserve his amazing style of writing. He had to face facts, he was getting old, and his once new pens and pencils were dull and worn from continuous use. He could not keep up his lifestyle of satisfying the masses with his great works.
Today, he lives a life fairly contrasting to that of a demi-god/scholar, that of a simple high school teacher. Students don't know they are having their brains worked like puppets to the masterful writer their teacher secretly is. No, they quietly learn day in and day out, and while Logsdon doesn't get the recognition he used to for his greatness and unprecedented ability, he knows he is continuing his legacy through the Henry Clay junior academy.
