Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 07, 2002

Transcript:

Sally: A "C"? A "C"? I got a "C" on my coat-hanger sculpture? How could I get a "C" in coat-hanger sculpture? May I ask a question? Was I judged on the piece of sculpture itself? If so, is it not true that time alone can judge a work of art? Or was I judged on my talent? If so, is it right that I be judged on a part of life over which I have no control? If I am judged on my effort, then I was judged unfairly, for I tried as hard as I could! Was I judged on what I had learned about this project? If so, then were not you, my teacher, also being judged on your ability to transmit your knowledge to me? Are you willing to share my "C"? Perhaps I was being judged on the quality of my coat hanger itself out of which my creation was made... Now, is this also not unfair? Am I to be judged by the quality of coat hangers that are used by the drycleaning establishment that returns our garments? Is that not the responsibility of my parents? Should they not share my "C"? "The squeaky wheel gets the grease!"
