Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 16, 2022

Good job, Frazz, and this is why you go to school every day, Caufield!

Of all the kids his age, Caulfield is probably the one most likely to have the ability to do complicated research, and to draw and understand conclusions…

So Frazz thinks it’s fine to (orally, anyway) hand him the material for his paper?

I know some of it was just guiding Caulfield’s thoughts in different directions… but still, he’s a kid who coasts through school, and needs to learn to organise his own time and study materials.

(I know from experience about failure to organise.)

All that aside… whether Frazz’s help was a great idea or halfway cheating…

I hope he left out the part about Mrs. Olsen! :)

In our writing class reports, we were supposed to at least mention sources. It was the instructor’s intention that, while we authored the report, we acknowledged it’s data were not based on our own original research. Kept us in mind of the fact that we owed much of what we knew to earlier ‘students of the species’.

A refreshing read for your teacher. It’s not just another Wikipedia cut and past.

Don’t give the first lady a plagiarized speech.

I understand Vikings more. I understand Packers less.

As long as it’s properly cited!

I write all my reports directly quoting the “intellectual” property in the comments section in the comics here.

Today’s “Far Side” contains a rerun of a Gary Larson cartoon about vikings: thefarside.com/2022/09/16

At least he didn’t just read Hagar the Horrible.

It must be better than most of the reports done by the Peanuts.

Brilliant? No, that would be the person who could figure out exactly how to do that, especially how to do it and still allow emergency calls.
