Reviewed by: My Dad's a Punk Karen Coats Bradman, Tony , ed. My Dad's a Punk. Kingfisher, 2006271 p Paper ed. ISBN0-7534-5870-5$7.95 R Gr. 5-8 With writers from Britain, Canada, Australia, and the U.S. (including notables such as Ron Koertge and Tim Wynne-Jones), these twelve stories about boys and their fathers take readers to places far away from wherever they sit, from tiny cabins in remote Canadian towns, to "halfway between Nowhere and Nowhere Else, Arizona," to a suburban landscape of the future, to the inside of a tank during World War II. There they encounter fathers—a failed magician, a straitlaced soldier, a blockade-running sailor, a salesman who is too busy for his son, and a doctor and punk rocker whose sons wish their fathers were too busy for them. Many of the fathers are divorced from the mothers, most are white, some are dead, some gay, some angry, some heroic, some embarrassing, but all forge loving, ultimately supportive relationships with their sons. Indeed, despite the provocative-sounding title, the stories contained here are by turns funny, grim, and warm-hearted but never angry, edgy, or wrenching; the punk dad is in fact a guy who has spiky hair and a fondness for the Pogues and who plays in a band called "Bucket of Snot." "You get used to it," says the narrator of his story, and indeed that seems to be the reigning wisdom of all of these stories: dads, no matter what their weirdnesses and hang-ups are, are people you get used to, people who are good to have around, even if you have to work hard to understand and even protect them from your own critical judgments. Readers looking for something harsher or with more grit will have to look elsewhere, but these are solid stories with high-interest plots and mostly feel-good resolutions, just right for the audience.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
