Education
TEACHING AT A NEW SCHOOL
When a new teacher at a new school, always make friends with the head-office secretaries. They really run the place and can help you far more than the principal.

Extend your arm in front of you and stick your thumb up. Place your thumb on the distant object you want to estimate the distance to; close one eye. Now close the other eye and open that one. Your thumb will seem to jump away from the object. Estimate the length of the jump over there. Multiply by 10.
