Transcript:
Alice: That's your final shoebox diorama for school? Petey: Yes. I've tried to stuff every inch of it with relevant material. This part refers to Ancient Egypt because we studied that. Here's soil erosion, plate tectonics, states of matter, lunar phases, adjectives, multiplication and westward expansion. Alice: Wow! That's everything there is! Petey: It's incoherent, isn't it? It's a mishmash! Oh, I'm doomed. Doomed.

Petey, you’ll be fine, just give your ideas a bit of time to gesticulate!

Based on what my school-teacher GF tells me, this pretty much captures the state of modern teach-to-the-test education.

Petey could market this as ‘School Year in a Box’.

Doomed to repeat the past………………………

It is mildly amazing that Petey can preliminarily assess and internalize the incoherency of his instantiated vision in the eyes of the common man … I wonder if this new found maturity will have any impact upon his choice of a Halloween costume this year?

As my graphic design prof said, “K.I.S.S.” Keep it simple, stupid!

Aww, that’s nothing! I can imagine a universe in my fingernail…

Kind of sad how Petey’s vast knowledge has been so cruelly limited by somebody’s shoe size.

Tough when you spend all year in school and when you try to make something out what you learned all you get is rubbish.

I was actually expecting him to have a shoe box diorama of shoe box dioramas.

I’m still recovering from Alice’s “bucket head” remark she made a week ago! LOL.

Things rarely fit neatly into boxes.
