Explaining a rainbow makes it MORE beautiful!

Incredible, but what are you going to tell you kids?

In the fourth grade we took a system wide test. I scored well enough to go to a different school in fifth grade for advanced studies. It wasn’t far away so I went.

Mrs Ward was our teacher. She was teaching us about rainbows and told us “blah blah, that’s why there isn’t the color green in rainbows.”

I raised my hand and said there was. She suspended me, my dad took me out of the school. That May I was watering dad’s lawn. The sun hit the spray right and I said, “See dad, there’s green in a rainbow.”

He said “son of a B” and immediately drove to the school. Mrs Ward had been fired. It took me until college to ever trust a teacher again.

Same thing happened in Martial Arts. My first teacher was a complete fraud. It took me several decades to ever trust a Martial Arts instructor again. I still find a lot of them to be iffy.

I see a boatload of rainbows out here. They all have green in them. But they sometimes make me think of other things.

I think Mrs Ward should be reinstated and you, young master Buka, should be given extra prep to be completed after school while being rapped over the knuckles with a wooden rule. Why? In the video, it suggests that when the droplets of water are extremely fine - mists really- interference between light waves as well as refraction, can create colours not normally seen in rainbows such as magenta and mauve. Is there green in regular rainbows? Yes, but teacher is always right and I want to see you doing prep with a looming wooden rule.

Watch the video again, 50 times until you pray for the sweet release of death…
