Mrs. Olsen: Any questions?
Caulfield: If I flunk a quiz on heredity, can I blame my parents? She said she'd be happy to send them my grade.
Frazz: Occasionally she fields one cleanly.
Now that I’ve volunteered in a second grade classroom for a semester, I feel tremendous sympathy for Mrs. Olsen. Handling the Caulfields of the classroom is like herding cats.
Caulfield flunk a quiz? Unless it’s intentional (which is a definite possibility — it could get him some ‘timeout’ time with Frazz) the odds are rather long. About the same as Mrs Olsen NOT ending a lesson with the dreaded “Any Questions?”
bigpuma: To continue the baseball analogy, “cleanly” implies right in the glove, no two handed catch (her usual), hesitation on the throw in (response not shown), or any thing else, including juggling or dropping the ball.

Is she wearing Punnet square earrings? I wouldn’t have thought her that nerdy.

Ok, I tried to share this but it keeps linking to Sunday’s strip, even when I use the March 30 URL. What gives?
