My oldest son was competitive and played baseball against his grammar school teachers and staff. I got called in to visit the principal on his behavior. I concluded that the principal got his lack of sport skills shown up. From my son, “Dad, we played a lot better than them and we won. I pitched a good game. He did not like that.”
Because of that incident, plus a few other revelations, I pull him out of public school and he excelled in private school. That was long ago, he’s 63 now, an engineer and can still play a pretty good game.
Man, I’m kind of dissapointed in this arc. The whole “Kids versus teachers” thing is a neat idea, but it’s just devolved into the old overused Big Nate jokes just in a different setting. 4 out of 6 of the comics in this arc are just overused jokes, instead of finding new ones that relate to the setting. Take the old Kids versus teachers basketball game. In that arc, it had much more unique jokes, which combined the nature of basketball with the players of Nate and his teachers. But in this, it’s just, "Nate hate mrs. Godfrey, Nate get Detention, etc.
….THIS should go into the school’s display case! Nate must have racked up detentions in the thousands by now, but this is the FIRST one meted out to him on the playing field……..history, pure history!…….
You know what I think will happen? The score will probably be tied with gina as the final batter, and she’ll either miss on purpose or hit a run and get all the credit
I’m starting to get tired of this new comment section. It’s just bringing me stress. All these new users are just arguing with each other and this place is starting to become very toxic, like some of the older years that I read earlier. You can’t even say your own opinion anymore about the strip without getting insulted. This is very sad. I’m going to take a break from this section.

Nate has the most detentions and probably for the most weirdest reasons. But Nate was speaking facts there is no way Nicholas can hit a bat

This is (probably) the 2nd time Principal Nicholas gives Nate a detention slip, the 1st time was in Big Nate in a Class by Himself

Not exactly the first time Nate got “detention” in a baseball game. He was benched by Mrs. Godfrey when she was the ump when he yelled at her
