Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 19, 2023

If you’re not happy with her performance, file a complaint with the supervisor.

No Calvin. You’re a bad…well everything.

It’s hard to teach material when Spaceman Spiff is pointing a Death Ray Blaster at you.

Remember the teacher’s voice in those Peanuts specials?

He can’t understand what he doesn’t want to hear. :D

Actually, I believe Miss Wormwood IS a poor teacher—more concerned about her pending retirement and pension than actually teaching!!

A really good teacher would be able to channel Calvin’s wild imagination and use that to help him learn.

But I suppose teachers like that are employed in overpriced private schools for rich folks’ snotty, entitled brats!!

You can get away with talking back to your teacher, per panel 2, and suffer no repercussions these days!!

A tad early to need hearing aids…..oh well!!!

Both Calvin and I have no idea what Ms. Wormwood said.

I taught at a technical school while in the Marines. Our Commanding Officer based our evaluations on our pass/fail rate.He said, “If the student failed to learn, the instructor failed to teach.”

Miss Wormwood is a lizard alien Republican? [based on that last word]

Modern society, blame the teacher.

Had a student actually say this in a letter once about her low grade. I suggested that if I was to take the honor for her low grade then I might take the honor for all the high grades from the same class. Boy was she angry.

Flattery will get you nowhere Calvin!

What we have here… is failure to communicate…

“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”

GOP? There shouldn’t be any politics in such a young child’s life.

This is why children must learn to be responsible for their own actions…the end result is the product of your effort…

I did some grade 4-6 after/summer school teaching and told the kids that I am not a teacher by profession, so I may not do a great job teaching. They, on the other hand, are professional students so if they’re not learning, they’re not doing their jobs.

It’s great to start them off-balance. :)

“Calvin, if you paid attention, you’d learn”.

Cal only hears and understands what he chooses to accept. Beyond that, it’s all gibberish.

F means “Fine”. Just go with it. The world needs more comics.

My First Grade teacher was so old. How old was she? She waited tables at the last supper.

It’s 19 April and National Old and Dusty Joke Day .

So, dig one up and share it with a friend.

With Calvin it isn’t so much a problem of aptitude, it is a problem of attitude. I don’t care how good a teacher is, some students simply will not engage and learn, no matter what the teacher does to encourage learning.

I just googled “Wogga muk gubba pum wup! Boo! Gop!”

Calvin’s teacher must be from a different planet than Charlie Brown’s teacher.

lol

I like how he threw GOP in there…LOL!!!

I think what she meant to say, is “Well, how are you supposed to be learning if you keep shooting spitballs at Susie’s head?”

I thank all the people that have supported me over the years on GoComics. I’ve been active for a LONG time, and my time is pretty much up. I’m gonna move on from GoComics. Until we meet again. :)

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

He hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

@BE THIS GUY- Believe me, it is NOT Mrs. Wormworth.

If only he could put that imagination to actual knowledge.

In deep stuff now for sure.

WUP!, she said.

I got this a lot as a teacher, especially after morons got elected to the school board.

That’s what ITIL sounds like

thats truly how i feel some times 10/10

I think I can see the problem, Calvin.

As an educator, and with current educational practice, Calvin’s observation is actually accurate.

Panel 3 put me in mind of “A wop bop a loop bop a lop bam boom”, which I’m sure you’ll all recognize

God, has this one aged well…

It’s everyone else’s fault but yours.

Episode 249

This strip feels like it’s stopping a panel too soon. Is “What?” really supposed to be the punch line?
