Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 24, 2023

I think Woodstock would do very well.

an actual bird brain

I am going to guess that P Patty still has the lowest score in the class.

She had to find a bird brain.

Patty, you’re setting the bar awfully low there.

Nope.

Woodstock is a bird brain.

Don’t be too sure, Peppermint Patty.

Woodstock is much smarter than Patty.

Birds can navigate long distances. Just maybe, in the Charlie Brown universe, they can do math too!

Peppermint Patty Pi(e) almost sounds like a real dessert.

Woodstock is for the birds.

Bird Brain…….

And now you’re really going to have to pass that next test, Patty. Being dumber than Woodstock is almost as bad as being dumber than Snoopy.

Is this how you repay Woodstock for providing the music for your ice skating routine…www.youtube(dot)com/watch?v=yH_RlC6Ahe8

I wouldn’t bet on that, Patty. I think Woodstock is a pretty smart bird.

√-1 2³ Σ π…and it was delicious!

Being second lowest on the curve doesn’t mean you’ll pass, Patty.

School on the day before Christmas?

The best (fairest) curve formula ever was the one my teacher used: Take the square root of your grade and multiply by 10. That’s your new grade. We all loved it. And since I only got 100s it never made any difference to me!

Merry Christmas Eve!

I’d like to know what the cube root of Peppermint Patty is.

LOL

I never thought too much about grades at that age! I just went to please my mom and grandparents. Maybe that’s why earned two degrees, lol!

Even Woodstock is more intelligent than you, sir.

I had a professor in an Applied Psychology class in college who told us all that he graded on the curve. When it was time for final exams, he gave us a test, which was unexpectedly easy, especially after the very difficult mid-term exam. The high score was 100, (I got a 98 because I didn’t pay enough attention to the question, missing the question was my fault) the low score was a 90. When the results were posted, I received a B and the people who had scored a 90 were given and F.

When he was confronted about it, he declared he told us he graded on the curve. Most of the class was up in arms and we descended on the Dean’s office en masse. The next day, our grades were changed to an A. The professor apparently had been chastised severely. Fortunately I never had another class under him again. To this day I have to wonder if he was up to something.

Umm I’m inclined to think of Woodstock as smarter than patty

A few years ago, I was enrolled in an on-line college science course. I had the highest grade on one of the last exams which was D- out of about 2 dozen students. The rest failed. It was an undergraduate level course but the instructor treated it as PhD level course. I contacted him and strongly encouraged him to grade on the curve as it was obvious we weren’t understanding what he was presenting! Fortunately, he did.

Bird brain

The answer to the title panel is 42

He will ace all the questions having to do with aerodynamics

She understands the nature of the curve, ain’t no way she gonna fail…

So just what is the cube root of Peppermint Patty pie?

The cube root of Patti Pie.

You maybe in for a ……… shock PP …… Woodstock “IS” ……………… way ahead of you ….. :)

Poor Patty. School is not her best subject.

For some reason we’ve moved to the first Sunday strip of 1977 . . .

I find that hard to believe what are you a Dumbo?!

The bird is probably smarter.And how come they throw Snoopy out of school but let the bird in?
