   I would raise my hand every time, then the teacher would say – I know YOU know the answer, I need to call on someone else.

   Lynn’s Notes:
   I always wondered how teachers, with all they have to do and all the students they have to keep track of, still, out of the corner of an eye, manage to catch the trouble makers red handed!

   I found out a similar lesson, only without being a trouble maker. After awhile you just know the material and let the teacher call on you without raising your hand.

   If you want to be called upon, look bored, distracted, or out of it. Then you will be called upon and you can smugly give the right answer. After awhile, you will never be called upon at all, as Poollady points out.

   I had an English teacher who would assign homework – say, 30 sentences to diagram – and the next day would call on each student to come up to the blackboard and diagram one of the sentences. Everyone else would go to the blackboard with their sheet of paper in hand, and diagram the sentence, correctly or not. I’d go to the board, without a sheet of paper, and diagram mine – always correctly.

   I suspect, the teacher knew I wasn’t doing the homework… but also knew I didn’t need to.

    I agree. Michael seems to have no sympathy for the kid next to him, he just knocked on the head.

    As a teacher, I of course did this trick, mixing it up between the kids who knew and the kids who weren’t paying attention. As a student, I did the trick mentioned above. My favourite was to either knit or read in classes. It made it much harder to answer questions and therefore more fun.

    Sorry, but in cartoon language, the little star by the kid’s head in the last 2 panels means “pain”. I doubt this kid will be roflmao-ing like you are.

    Oddly, I knitted in my most boring college class (with permission from the teacher) so that I could stay awake and absorb the material.
