У is for uchitel

Don't confuse this vowel with the English "Y" -- it is actually pronounced "oo." In handwriting, it appears as Уу, with the loop of the little у connecting to the next letter.

Учитель (uchitel) is a teacher! In hedgehog school, we apparently learn calculus very early. That, or the author is recycling a drawing she did of her roommate's Russian math professor...Oh no, can't stop the meta-commentary!
