Description: This cartoon shows a school administrator (Mr. Moody) seated behind a desk with a parent in a chair across from him. He says to her, "Mrs. Smith, I realize that on the surface it doesn't seem to make any sense to place your son -- who has behavior challenges -- in a class with 6 other aggressive, anti-social boys. But trust me. I'm a professional. This is my business." The tag line under the cartoon reads, "Mr. Moody tries out a new technique after getting lost at a national education conference and spending a week at a used car sales seminar."
