Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for June 28, 2016

No wonder he seems unhappy.

First of all, seems like Mr. Rosa would be the only teacher Nate would want to sign his yearbook.

Secondly, for those who do not know jimmies are what we Northerners call sprinkles.

Who here still calls them jimmies? Don’t worry, I won’t judge you.

Hey, I asked for a good book report and I got some half-a** report of a book not read……..

The school year burned Mr. Rosa out.

I knew a teacher who had to work at a convenience store as her second job.

But wouldn’t Nate go to Mr. Rosa’s room first?

There is no way to be “done” with a teaching job as is normal with most jobs. You do whatever you are going to do that day, lock up and forget it until the next day. A teacher can not be finished with the job until every student has understood everything that they need to know. That involves waking up in the middle of the night because you have realized what will get the concept though to Jimmy. Any time or energy spent on other work is robbing the kids of the teacher’s attention, and giving them an education inferior to what they could have had if the teacher could afford to give it to them.

Of course.

Nate had Godfrey sign his yearbook?

I’m sure it’s required…

I always feel so sorry for Mr. Rosa!

In Junior High, I had a female teacher who was a truck driver before she went into teaching. That always impressed the heck out of me…

MLB baseball players used to have that problem. However, teachers, on the other hand…

He should apply for a less stressful job.

Ain’t no cure for the summertime blues………

They both taste the same, just a color thing

oh pooooooooooooooooooooooooooor mr. rosa!!! i feel so bad for him :(

$$$

Huh, I just emailed my Spanish teacher, and I mentioned that I forgot to get my yearbook signed by her just before reading this strip.

My previous comment was deleted since I pressed backspace, and it took me back a page before I could post it. Why does this happen, and does it happen to you?

i feel bad for Mr.Rosa

Ewww!

Wow, what a brat.

Poor mr. Rosa

Calm down, kid. The ice-cream store employee will fix your order.

What are jimmies? Are they a type of sprinkles, because I’ve never heard of jimmies.

Man, that kid is so rigid..

Mr. Rosa is my favorite teacher in the strips. Why must he be treated so badly.

yeah in britain they call it “jimmies”

“sir.”
