Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for August 24, 2024

Yay, non-bizarre Crabgrass is back!

Next up: Robomancer fan fic!

I’ll admit, Kevin’s attitude towards schoolwork genuinely irritates me. He’s smart but refuses to do the work. It’s very sad but very real

Did that once with a shorthand homework, then was told to transcribe it the next day in class. Somehow it worked, despite the bounding of the bus, and I completed the transcription.

Kevin has the potential to be a star student, but he chooses to just slack off.

The first time I read Dune, I felt like I needed to take notes. Later I just figured, the heck with it. I’ll figure it out as I go along.

Before you know it, he’ll be working on a Science Fair project!

I didn’t know he even knew how to take notes!

Everyone is not the same. There are different ways of learning, and we have different aptitudes and strengths. Some are visual learners, or action learners, or audio learners. Some have street smarts, others book smarts. Our educational system is too pigeonholing. If you judge a goldfish by it’s ability to climb a tree, you are completely missing it’s particular genius.

oh, no, it’s going to be another arc where Kevin turns out to be a nerd but Miles is upset about it…

i usually rushed through the night before the report was due… ☺

Read “Catcher in the Rye,” blow your 9-year old mind, and do a report on THAT!!

The things a guy has to do to keep from flunking.

There was one post-apocalyptic YA novel I decided not to keep, but I did include a cast of characters taped inside the front cover for the next reader. No spoilers, of course, but there was a whole settlement introduced in the first couple of pages, and it was a lot.

I don’t disagree, Kevin. Also, congratulations to Tauhid on his Reuben win!!
