Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 13, 2024

LOL

Yes, and yes. Or, No, and no.

Every day? It’s another bad assumption by a kid in the first panel. They sure have learned a lot of things that aren’t true.

Smart people learn from there own mistakes. Wise people learn from other peoples mistakes.

Love their question and answer banter.

Learning what doesn’t work is valuable information.

So which meaning for ‘bomb’ in this case? Ace it and make the mistake of proving he could do the work so he can’t stall off again? Or actually blowing the test and losing his standing as ‘smart guy?’

And, as for Mrs. Olsen, she acts as if she has never learned not to ask that question at any point in a class. I think she does it, knowing very well after all this time, that Caulfield will not miss a chance to stir things up.

It’s good for the other students, too, as his questions present a different aspect of a subject that many probably had never considered. Sort of a sideways Socratic application.

The goal of a test isn’t to learn, but to gauge how much you have already learned.

We learn more from our mistakes, which is why I know you don’t meet foreign girls by calling the international date line.

School learning is about learning from the mistakes of the past. If you can’t learn from the mistakes of others then there is a good chance you won’t get the correct lesson from your own mistakes.

It depends on when the mistakes were made, in the practice and study time or during the actual test?

He had you at ´any.´

Saying that you CAN learn from your mistakes is no guarantee that you WILL learn from them. Some people just keep making the same ones over and over.

I think so, too, Frazz. Mrs. Olsen really enjoys Caulfield’s questions.

She keeps asking Caulfield if there are any questions. She never learns.

Think Caulfield and Danae from ‘Non Sequitir’ should compete notes?

It means he has made the most mistakes to learn from.
