sorry, Calvin, they are trying to train you for business meetings when you grow up, not for doing meaningful things. I think there were only a handful of corporate meetings of the hundreds that I had to attend that weren’t boring. AND I was the one that made sure they weren’t. (insert evil villain laugh here)
It usually wasn’t too boring the first time something was presented. But the second and third times were snoozers. And having students take turns reading aloud from the book was a real downer.
He should count his lucky stars, these days some ‘Responsible Gun Owner’ ( ® NRA) would stop by the school, to make the day more exciting for everyone, and help out with local job creation efforts (undertakers, coroners, police, trauma counsellors, right-wing media pundits, etc).
I remember an English language course (I’m European, so languages courses are mandatory) which was so boring that I did other things. The prof asked me why I didn’t followed her course, I told her that it was boring and that I was working way ahead in the program. Because I was a good student, she smiled and told to the whole class: “Well, there is at least two people who are working here!!”. Silence. I was bullied after the course, and put “aside” from every groups of students. There after, she helped me for my studies, and I also helped the others to get better results. I wasn’t bullied after that!!

What happens in the principal’s office? Is it worse than being in class?

Thing is that some teachers really are boring. I didn’t become interested in History until i got this great teacher in junior college.

If Calvin thinks that getting through school is supposed to be interesting— dare I say fascinating?— he’s in for a big letdown!

Reminds me of the book “Why Johnny Can’t Read” that came out in the 60’s (I think). Book made the basic point of how school is badly designed.

Definitely one of the funniest instances of Calvin getting in trouble at school. Surprised he didn’t try that earlier in the run!

Good God, if this six year old could only focus remotely on his studies, he would be a topper in the class, specially the vocabulary part.
