Found this ornament at Target in the 75% off section. I would totally buy this for my son’s English/Grammar teacher, if he wasn’t still in Pre-K.
Of course, if the teacher who received the ornament broke off the text and used it to measure, that object would indeed be the teacher’s rule.

I think this is a deliberate, apostrophe-based pun. As the medal itself is a teacher’s rule.

Apologies for the horrible fragment.

Gez — I was hoping the same; if so, I love it!

I second Gez. I saw something similar to this at a mall store and almost got it for the mister (an English teacher), but I couldn’t tell if it was a horrible mistake or a clever pun.
