Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 19, 2011
Transcript:
Look, Mrs. Godfrey! "No loud voices"! It's on of your classroom rules! So how come you let Gina scream "Ooh" at the top of her lungs whenever she raises her hand? Because, Nate, when a student feels passionately about something, it's my job to be encouraging, not discouraging. Now sit down and put your head on your desk.

It looks like the cover of “From The Top” — Nate’s shaking his booty on top of a desk.

In Mrs Godfrey’s class, all students are equal….just some are more equal than others.

@sparkbellClara.Oh, very encouraging, Mrs. Godfrey!
NightHawk2005 about 13 years ago
No, she isn’t. She’s an example of a teacher rewarding students who do the work and don’t disrupt the class. Sounds like a teacher of the year candidate to me.
Does Nate ever bother to apply himself at all? You get out of school what you put into it.

The True Reason: What Mrs. Godfrey said. Gina feels passionate about saying the answer. So Mrs. Godfrey’s encouraging her to say it.

In principle, Mrs. Godfrey is right. However, she either needs to remove the sign or also encourage Gina to be a little more controlled with her passion. Otherwise, it’s unfair
