Transcript:
Mom: "Hey, no comic books until you finish your homework" Calvin: "I DID finish" Mom: "That didn't take very long. Did you do a good job?" Calvin: "I did a GREAT job. When you're as far ahead of the class as I am, it doesn't take much time" Mom: "Well, we'll see about that when I get back from my parent-teacher conference with Miss Wormwood" Calvin: "You're going to talk to my teacher?!" Mom: "I'm sure it will be an informative meeting" Calvin: "Gosh. I forgot to tell you! Miss Wormwood said I was so good, you didn't need to bother coming! Really! She said you don't have to go!"

A parent-teacher conference can be very embarrassing for a student like Calvin who is so far ahead of the class. Such a modest child.Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (February 21, 1991)Here is another example of Calvin’s tremendous speed when doing homework:Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (March 18, 1993)

“Ahead” wouldn’t be the word I would use.

I used to dread it when parent-teacher conferences came up and I wasn’t half the hellion Calvin is (45% maybe). This will NOT go well for our boy.

When my daughter was little she had to stay at aftercare in the cafeteria of the school until I got off work. It was run by the YMCA and they were supposed to supervise homework (they didn’t). Anyway, this one kid in her class ALWAYS had his homework done and my daughter felt inferior. We talked about it and she felt ok. Fast forward, the kid NEVER actually had his homework done and had to repeat that grade! (we still use it as an example as to why its a bad reason to compare yourself to others :~D

Ya gotta wonder HOW it was that the saying got started…when the defecation strikes the Westinghouse (fan). Was it based on an anecdotal observation or just a fertile imagination? Maybe Calvin could research that for us in his time machine or during a daydream in Miss Wormwood’s math lecture….
