Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 25, 2015

She is such a bad teacher….

And where in Lousiana is Fort Sumter, exactly?

Good. Kid needs some reality therapy.

Most open-minded “F” I ever saw!!

That… That is not your word, Nate.

Well it wasn’t creative writing class, it’s history. I think Mrs. Godfrey was right in giving Nate a bad grade.

Did Nate sign up for The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest?

F+. The + is for creativity. I would present that grade to Nate, give him a chance to create a factual report. Tell him if no report in 2 days, the F+ stands.

F for the assignment, extra credit for the creativity. A little plagiarism there with stealing Snoopy’s line.

What a cold, regimented biotch.

Nate should be writing fanfiction.

I knew he would fail.

Yeah, right. Steven King got F’s too, and was told he would never be a real wrier, but who’s laughing now?

F for Fantastic!

Having worked as a teacher in middle school… I agree! :- )

Why is everyone bashing Mrs. Godfrey? She has a point. For one, Fort Sumter was based in SOUTH CAROLINA, not Louisiana. Second, dark and stormy night, huh? DURING THE MORNING???

Godfrey Code: F=A+

you can’t read one paragraph and give him an F shes a terrible teacher I agree.

A dark and stormy night that morning?

She didn’t even take the time to read it! Mrs. Godfrey is horrible!

a dark and stormy night during A MORNING?

I would have given him a C for creativity, and offer to raise his grade up to an A if he did a factual report, but if not, the C stays

How could it be a dark and stormy night in the morning?

Fort Sumter is in Charleston. lol.

“It was a dark and stormy night…” Now, where have we heard that line before, Peanuts geeks?

It was a dark and stormy night that morning

Did anyone catch that

It was a dark and stormy night that morning?

She barely even read it! She can’t give him an F yet.

It was a dark and stormy night that morning.

“It was a dark and stormy night that morning”?
