The teacher, I feel…. may be overstating just a tad when she says the team is making “great progress” if what we have seen is any indication. :)
Nancy, herself, today…. sadly…. oh so sadly…. reminds me so much of a fairly heft percentage of my students (and also two of my own kids) in their disjointed view of reality in regards to “success” at something: Wanting to succeed at something (a class, basketball, etc) is a start of what is needed for success. But…. accepting that one is NOT prepared TO succeed yet is also a critically needed part as well. It is really the only way that leads to the hard work and effort that is required to change oneself.

This is one of multiple comic strips for which I’m not seeing a new entry today (7/9/19). Are there issues with this site?

This is gonna be the punchline isn’t it. She’s actually perfectly good at basketball, she’s just been eating popcorn. I’m mad.

Nancy’s good at sandbagging, but the hour of reckoning is fast approaching!!
