Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for June 01, 2009

Just stop whining.

The longer you don’t think, the longer you need to learn. ;)

Schmooze - or do you mean “over-RE-acting”?

I just love the incidental business with Biscuit and the food bowl :) It’s much more interesting than Holly’s pouts

Old Possum. I’m with you. so cute!

Holly, just think about your future, as a psychopath.

Don’t waste your breath, ccotter – if she understood cause-and-effect, she wouldn’t need summer school.

You don’t have to go to summer school Holly–so long as you prefer being held back, and redoing the entire school year (which I’m sure takes much more than five weeks that way).

Well it may be a good motivator for next year. Keep telling her, “Do your homework, make sure you study, you don’t want to go to summer school again do you?”

The more you study, the more you know. The more you know, the more you can forget. The more you can forget,, the more you do forget.. The more you forget., the less you know. So why study?.

Never let school interfere with your education!

Being good at spelling works to your advantage. Biscuit knows….

She could do that but Holly will just think she’s nagging (not motivating). Then she’ll just “turn off” and that won’t be helping anything either….Kids. I’m glad that period of my life is over! ;)

4 hours is so LONG especially at school in the Summer time. Cruel and unusual punishment.

Ms. Elliot needs to draw at least some rudimentary background to give things perspective. It looks like Biscuit has learned to levitate.
