By the way, is this the same test where Susie answered “Eli Whitney and Cotton Gin” to a Math problem?Calvin should figure it out why he got the Barfy sticker.
Could never happen in today’s school system. First of all, it isn’t a “quiz” or “test” – those terms are too intimidating to the children. To be politically correct, it’s called a “challenge.”
The “challenge” cannot be graded in red ink. Once again, it’s too intimidating to the chidren.
Then again there are no “wrong” answers, it’s just that there are “better” answers. 2+2 = 5 isn’t “wrong” it’s just not as “good” as 2+2=4.
And finally the ACLU would have Mrs. Wormwood’s butt in court for handing out smiley stickers to some kids and not others regardless of performance. Everyone should get a gold star for just taking the um, “challenge.”

Miss Wormwood probably smiled when she put that sticker on.

You have to give to Miss Wormwood’s sense of humour.

At this rate Calvin will be left back and will no longer be in the same class as Susie. – Unless his school practices social promotion.

A barfing face sticker somehow seems apropos.

Hope it’s not a scratch-and-sniff sticker.

How could Calvin not know about the barfing face stickers?

Too bad the school assumes girls don’t like snakes.

It could be Mrs. Wormwood’s barf on the sticker.

Poor Calvin. On the other hand, my son at that age would have loved the barfing far better than the smiling.
