Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 24, 2013

Blast it! Lost in translation Calvin.

Yes, it seems so!!

Some teacher don’t realy want, that children come up!!

You know, Calvin, God gave you two ears but only one mouth. That’s His way of telling you that listening is twice as important as talking, and I’ll bet that if you talked less and listened more, you might actually learn something!

Ever think what a real mad teacher would do to your life in school.Take that back Calvin ,try and make it look like your not a coward,bring her chocolates and be nice to her,or??

Miss. Wormwood either might not be a good teacher…or Calvin’s not a good learner.

“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.”

It’s Swedish, Calvin. It means “shut up you little brat!”

yeah, that’s what I used to hear all the time as well

Blast her with a beam of light and she might turn to stone or explode.(Just finished watching TrollHunter)

A few years ago I read that when examinations were first introduced, the idea was not to test how well the students had learned, but rather how well the teachers had taught. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the source.

Tomorrow’s lesson is G. Like in ‘Golly’, it’s best that we go back to F.

“BOO! GOP!” ….. WHAT??

F for failed (yet again!).

Some things are a secret, like the prescription of a fine cake or wine, such things are kept in families and only given to next generation!

I was a teacher, too. And your bumper sticker response to Aaron cracked me up! Idealistic nonsense. I had 40-50 junior high students per class and its impossible to tune into all their frequencies all at once even for a minute.

So you worked on Disneyland. Good for you. The real world is quite different.

They come from different worlds. Her’s is more practical, but his is just so much more fun.

It would take an alien teacher to blast through the amount of self-absorption Calvin has. Fortunately his Hobbes keeps him on the right path.

Can’t leave him behind.

That monster has a kid’s face looking out of the side of its chin.

Maybe he’s got a point?

typical – blame the teacher if a student doesn’t learn. It’s a shared responsibility. The judgement is relatively easy – look at all the rest of the kids – if they are learning successfully, the teacher has done his/her job. No doubt Calvin could use a little extra therapy – but no teacher can deal with one student while neglecting the rest of the class.

There’s your problem, Calvin, Ms Wormwood speaks gibberish!

The substitute teachers are always lacking in some respects, but it was fun to test their patience.

Gop!

WOGGA MUK GUMBA……?

GOP? Why did she have to get political?

I would have liked to see what that gobbledygook was.

I met several.

“Er — ah — maybe it’s Opposite Day. Maybe my ‘F’ is really an ‘A’! Maybe Susie’s ‘A’ is really an ‘F’! Yeah, that’s it! It’s National Opposite Day!”

“Page 51, please.”

“(Sigghhhhhhh…)”

I don’t know what “language” Miss Wormwood is speaking here but it’s all “Greek” to me too!!!!! ;-)

@CalvinLet’s face it… Miss. Wormwood is just one of those common stamp-pressed, rank and file teachers that can’t inspire those under her tutelage to learn.A Lousy Teacher uses Intimidation tactics (bordering on bullying) to drill his/her lessons into the students. Great Teachers earn the trust, respect, love and Inspire their pupils to learn… but they the teachers, in turn also learn from their pupils too.

Sad truth…

I had an Algebra 301 teacher that I regularly met with after class to ask for a different explanation of a topic. All she would do is read the book to me. She retired the next year and I managed to talk my counselor into letting me repeat the class even though I had gotten a passing grade. It went better the second time.

Calvin is too smart for this class, or at least has too short an attention span?

Fortunately, Most of my teachers have been lovely and helpful but of course there has been a few ‘bad apples’ who I don’t even want to remember.

As much as I hated school… I started crying on the day I left.

Now I’m at College… The teachers are still lovely and helpful.

How can all those monsters see him when they don’t have eyes?

He’s starting to have another one of his schizoid episodes!!

Ms. Wormwood appears to be speaking in tongues and Calvin’s translaterotron is on the fritz…

I don’t speak (or read) whatever language that is, but if I were to hazard a guess, I think she said, “To the principal’s office! Go! Now!”

Spiff needs to go to planets where he can understand the language.

That should be “a class’s interest.” I guess you are one of the bad teachers.

Once again, they’ll probably kill the messenger … or at least send him to the Principal’s Office!
