Miss Honey

So you have a child with exceptionally high intelligence but this child has dunderheads for parents.  She begins going to school now but the principal of the school is a physically dangerous child hater.  Where can this little girl turn?  To her classroom teacher, of course: Miss Honey.  You can see this situation and its unfolding on Amazon, Netflix and Apple TV.  They all show "Matilda". 

As you may have gathered from previous posts, I am an admirer of women.  I actually came from a woman's body and I have been told most if not 100% of us did.  One of several stats supporting the notion of the superiority of women is their greater longevity than those of my sex.  You can refer to Dr. Ashley Montagu's 1952 book "The Natural Superiority of Women" for more information.  I admit that if you focus just on combat ability and the lust for blood, women are probably #2.

I was impressed when I mentioned Miss Honey in talking with my wife and that intelligent woman volunteered that she too thought Matilda's teacher had a perfect name.  The warmth and acceptance that women can radiate helps us all
