Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 14, 2012

Nice nate

I need to change. I’m the 14 year old stuck in 7th grade (year 7) because they think I have dyslexia

We have rows, for now, but there’s this annoying brainiac right behind me, for some reason ive moved from 1st smartest to 2nd smartest. She’s kinda like Gina. Holy crap, I got busted one time for falling into a coma after that, but luckily, i just got hit with a 5 minute recess ban, not a detention

I think Nate’s got Lucy Van Pelt Syndrome.

Neither is getting Jenny to Break up with Artur. But do whatever it takes anyway.

Principle Nichols has an upside down Learning Sign: Lon his belt. Hm…weird.

The goal is to make the world a better place for me.

i need to change…..but i am out of dimes and nickels

My goal: Save up enough money for Disneyworld and Universal Studios.

you could always ask the artist to erase her mouth?

I see Nate’s problem. In fact, I see it all the time wherever I sub; and it brings back memories. As I was saying to one teacher today, there’s a frustrated kid in the back of her class. As it was when I was in sixth grade, he knows all the answers; yet the teacher almost never calls on him. I finally asked the teacher why he didn’t call on me (yes, my 6th grade teacher was a guy; and it was in the days of junior high schools, where 6th grade was still in elementary school). He told me, “I don’t call on you because I know you know the answers. I need to know if the rest of the class knows the answers.” After that, even though he still didn’t call on me too often when I raised my hand, I wasn’t nearly as frustrated by it.

This ploy is typically Nate-esque.Consider: The school year’s hardly begun, and Nate has already:a)been bullied by Ms. Godfrey IN school before school even started!b)been one-upped “doubleplusgood” by Gina!c)stands informed that Jenny/Artur is still a couple!d)stood alone and trembling in Chester’s shadow!

Sheesh, what could be next??Oh, riiiiiight….the first detention of the year….haw! HAW!!
