A few years back, one dreadful boy ran up to me and said, "Mr. Bradbury?"
"Yes?" I said.
"That book of yours, The Martian Chronicles?" he said.
"Yes," I said.
"On page 92, where you have the moons of Mars rising in the East?"
"Yeah," I said.
"Nah," he said.
So I hit him. I'm damned if I'll be bullied by bright children.

I've always pictured classroom discipline along more Little House on the Prairie lines: harsh words and a decent bullwhip.
