    Who has time for a book report when one is discussing important philosophical questions?

    Tell your dad an “F” doesn’t matter.

    A minute later an H-bomb went off nearby, so it didn’t matter anyway!

    It’s only a problem if you let it be a problem.

    The origins of today’s news media professionals – why bother with reporting, when you can have opinions!

    Looking back, our elementary teachers scolded us for copying things out of the encyclopedia for reports. Not one of them, however, took class time to show us how to do it right. They just expected us to know.

    I used to read the jacket and write a long-winded report based on that. :P

    Like the time our class was asked to write book jacket on Les Misérables and I never read the story.

    It won’t matter until you’re in the Principal’s office again!

    I always read the book, but I seldom wrote a report. Why should I share my enjoyment with someone who was to lazy to read it?

    That brought back a bad memory of 7th grade. I got up to deliver to my class a book report on, “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens. I had only skimmed through the book real quickly that same morning. As soon as I got in front of the class and turned to face them the teacher looked at me and said, “You didn’t read it did you.” I sat down. Had tunnel vision for the rest of the day. Well for about an hour anyway.

    When I started 7th grade in a new school, they messed up my schedule. So after 3 days they switched all of my classes. In the English class I was ended up in, the teacher had already assigned a book report. I missed the assignment (I never knew if there was a handout or just a verbal description), so I didn’t know what to do. So I didn’t do it. The teacher pestered me for it for the whole semester, I never did it. Other than that, I did fine in the class, I think I got a “B”, life went on, I graduated from high school and college and have lived comfortably for decades since.

    But I still remember Mrs. Smith bothering me about that mystery assignment. I hope teachers realize that their negative behavior may end up being more memorable than whatever they think they’re teaching.

    Did Calvin say something else in the last panel and it was changed? You might notice that the speech bubble is a slight bit large compared to the words.

    Another reason why I hated school, when you had to pass your book report up, and I never had one.

    Big things are usually composed of little things, taking care of the little things usually make the big things work correctly.

    One time my older brother had to write a book report on a book he had read. He procrastinated. The morning before he was to give his report, he made up the book, and wrote a report on it.

    My daughter loved to read, until junior high where the reading program beat the love of reading out of her. Fortunately, late in college she found the love again and is again an avid reader.
