Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 12, 2013

Yeah, what are you, anti-symmetric? Hater!

Like the ski resort of girls looking for husbands and husbands looking for girls, the situation is not as symmetrical as it might seem.

Would have been more symmetrical as “She know I don’t care”.

The “agreement” might not have been with Mrs. Olson. Maybe it was with his classmates…or Frazz?

Tell that to the current administration.

This kid is starting to get on my nerves.

In much later years, Caufield will give the eulogy and shed more tears than anyone else at her funeral…

Mrs Olsen needs to stop feeding the troll that is Caulfield. And/or assign him extra work since he is clearly not being challenged enough.

As someone who taught elementary school for 22 years, I can attest that some of the most disruptive students are ones that are bored and irritated by a system that focuses on the lowest common denominator. Imagine what it must be like to have to sit quietly and listen to a teacher explaining something you understood years ago.

Agingstoner: Or worse, hearing it explained totally wrong – like teachers around here concluding a mandatory coverage of evolution with “but Christians believe” and telling valuable myth as literal fact that most Christians believe to be myth and not contrary to science at all. But the teachers get “merit bonus” every year just the same.

It’s interesting that in the working world, you can’t talk about “problems”, only “issues” that create “opportunities”. But in schools, it’s fine to talk about “problem” kids, and the only “opportunities” they present are to the manufacturers of Ritalin, Adderall, and the like.

Jeeze, I can’t believe some of the comments here. The kid just appears to be a bright, inquisitive, child with a sense of humor. Some of you need to lighten up as well as remembering that this is a comic strip.
