Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 03, 2019

I’m gonna do a wild guess and say Henry III?

John of Gaunt

Haha! Sally is completely natural in her ways, she’s harshly honest.

Sally needs some gut medication!

Weird weird and more weird

Was her gut reaction due to school lunches? I remember those cafeteria lunches with a bad memory. The Navy had better meals. But then then the ship’s cooks shared the same ship as everyone else, and we could retaliate. We couldn’t do that to the people who cooked my school lunches.

Wow, Sally’s doing world history! In my little Midwestern town at that time, you had to be in highschool to study that.

Henry (Henri) IV of France, Antoine of Navarre. HR Emperor Henry IV, yes, Henry III. I’m out of Henry’s.

I taught literature and composition for thirty years. I had Sally’s attitude toward much of the crap that the state-mandated curriculum forced me to teach.

Somehow, I like Sally’s “care less” attitude!

A Truth to Power moment in elementary school…

When the part of the brain that causes you to censor yourself fails…

Wow, history and math in the same lesson!

I’m with Sally on this one. In school they spent way too much time on frivolous things and not enough time on the three Rs

My gut reactions get me in so much trrrooouuuuble!!

How about “Who was the father of President Trump?”

Lucky for me, I’ve already forgotten most of 4th grade.

Wow! I knew the answer to that one without looking it up – John of Gaunt, third son of Edward III

Depends. Henry of England, Henry of France, or Henry of somewhere else?

Why should children learn historical nuisances such as names of past rulers. They can be left to enjoy the present.
