Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 12, 2020

I wonder what a “Z+” grade is like.

Didn’t you even put you name on it? Yeah, I guess I wouldn’t either.

That sounds bad.

Amateur . In middle school I usually took 2 in Latin on a scale ranging from 0 to 10

In math Z is the vertical plane. X and Y are in the horizontal plane. For a grade of Z-, she must be in the basement grade. A test so bad it sunk out of sight.

Z for Zero.

I always preferred ZZ Top! :D

PP, consider giving up sports, and spending your after school time with a tutor.

They invented the term just for Patty.

And in this case, Z does not stand for “Zorro”!

A Z for sleeping in school?

So what can you expect from a girl who thinks a beagle is a funny looking kid with a big nose. I’d say that PP marches to the beat of a different drummer, but sometimes I think she’s got an entire symphony orchestra up there. Academia isn’t her thing.

I wish I could give some Z minus grades!

With brains like that, you should get a Z+.

I had a math teacher in high school who gave out Ws. An A got you 40 points, a C got you 20 and an F got you zero. A W took away 5…

Now that’s just pathetic, PP.

“Zealous effort,” perhaps?

In HS I had an old teacher of Geometry who used a minus system of F’s. If you got a F-4 you were doomed since it would take four A’s to get your grade up to just passing. I made the grade up in summer school and that was a breeze.

And I always thought that F was the lowest grade.

Break the Limitation Of Sleeping Grade!

At least she did not get down into the greek letters, like our recent slew of hurricanes.

My, I hated school

I never added + or – to F’s … it was just insulting. …but I did give a D— one time. (fantastic effort – really minimal accomplishment)

If they go all the way to Z, does that make “M” an average grade? Suddenly F doesn’t sound so bad…

Zat is zee truth.

A new record.

I remember seeing this a long time ago and thinking how funny it is. But now I’m a retired college professor. What I’ve seen over my career is dropping standards and students getting high grades for participation. Upon being encouraged to drop standards even lower, I quit.

Which explanation of will accompany the note to your Father…..

Gee Patty are you in some sort of competition with Calvin to see who can get the lowest GPA?

She would have received a Y+, but she got the date wrong.

I remember one peer who became a teacher who once told me, “we should have a special grade for the ones who try really hard … but still fail miserably.”

The teacher should have given her at least a Y+

If you have ever watched ¨peanuts¨ on boomerang, you would know what happens after that.

That’s bad. Patty needs help.

“Z-” and misspelled your name AGAIN

That means your teacher fell asleep while grading your paper.

Z FOR Zounds?

Wow, that really is some serious school. They give out negative grades. A 0 was always the worst grade you could get at any school I went to as a kid (because of moving so much, I ended up going to six elementary schools), it was better to get an F than a 0. But a Z minus, that’s gotta be like negative 1100 for a numeric grade. A 0 would be better than Z minus.
