They'll try everything except the obvious

This is a 3-panel satirical comic meme using the popular boardroom employee ejection template. The first panel shows an angry school administrator leaning over a conference table asking his team for solutions to low student lecture attendance, saying "Students aren't attending lectures. Ideas?". The second panel shows two team members offering punitive, coercive solutions: "Make attendance mandatory" and "Punish them", followed by a third relaxed team member suggesting the obvious root-cause fix: "Make lectures worth attending". The third panel shows the furious administrator throwing the employee who suggested improving lectures out of an office window, rejecting the logical solution out of hand. The joke pokes fun at how institutional leadership commonly ignores simple, effective solutions that address the source of a problem in favor of restrictive, punitive measures that do not fix underlying issues.
