I’ve written a lot of stuff I’d never read; and read even more stuff that I’ve not written…I didn’t write any of Ray Bradbury’s magic, may he rest in peace. We’ll miss you, Mr. Bradbury!
I’m sure many of my students don’t read what they have written. When I make them read their essays out loud, they are quite surprised to see their own mistakes.
Considering the lack of oversight, paternal indifference, rotten science advice (from his Dad), and failure to police his school it’s no surprise that Calvin retreated into fantasy. Reality was just too scary.
And even more to the point, Calvin, your teacher isn’t going to want to read it either….tell your mother you can’t find it…maybe she’ll buy that line…yeah, right….

What did Hobbes write? It would be better to know, what is written in the composition. I won’t trust Hobbes so much!!

Hobbes looks exhausted after the ordeal — just lying there staring off into space.

And of course some don’t read the essays that they download from the internet— but that’s a different problem.

I sometimes wonder if the students I teach read their assignments before turning them in.

I need to hire Hobbes. Then I can goof off and still have my work done.

@Dogsniff: I don’t read the Frog Blog, since it’s not to my taste. I looked at it many months ago but haven’t read it since.
