Did he tell them that if all else failed they should buy a leather jacket, a motorbike and hang out with school kids eating burgers until they were 40?
the teacher could at least feign interest... guess it was the absence of the leather jacket. guy's a living legend.
He visited my wife's school too. We have a signed book somewhere. He is a big campaigner for kids with learning issues, dyslexia in particular.
He writes and is in something called Hank Zipzer, which my daughter used to watch. If you like him, then you really must watch something called Better Late Than Never. In essence a travel show with him, Bill Shatner, George Foreman and some American football legend. Quite funny viewing.
