Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 04, 2015
Transcript:
Calvin: You know, school wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to go every day. Calvin: .. And if you didn't have to learn anything... and if you took away all the teachers and all the other kids. If it was completely different, school would be great. Hobbes: A lot of things are like that. Calvin: Nobody asks me how things ought to be. I've got tons of ideas!

Right now you’ve got tons of gripes, Calvin. Will we hear you ideas in the next strip? Probably not, in which case you have a great future as a politician.

Calvin is very antisocial. He never wants to play with any other kids.

Actually schools should be done completely different. Just not remotely like how Calvin describes, either.

Calvin doesn’t have a clue what makes the world go ‘round. But we old-timers who have it all figured out still need clueless troublemakers like Cal. Without them, we’d doze off into smug oblivion.

It isn’t so much that Calvin is antisocial. He doesn’t fit in the mainstream. He’s too creative, his vocabulary would leave his peers heads spinning, his imagination goes well beyond elementary school standards. He doesn’t fit in the world he’s forced to live in so he makes up his own.

Calvin loves school—if it were exactly like vacation.
Actually, Calvin does learn a lot on vacation. Some of it is even similar to what he studies in school.

Kids that think like that end up living in mom’s basement complaining if their orange juice has too much pulp.

Unfortunately, Calvin, children are basically prisoners; in that kids have essentially zero rights!

I’ve got tons of ideas too. Most of them aren’t worth the space they take up.
