[racket] a problem with image.rkt teachpack

Hi Elena,

You can also remove the teachpack from column one. It is, however, simple
enough for students to only add the teachpack in column 2. Once you add a
teachpack,  it remains added until it is removed. My first year students
run DrRacket without removing the teachpack all semester.
