She, and of course Charlie Brown, could head up North during the Summer Break to Ashland, Oregon. I’m not sure how it is going to work this year, (because of the COVID-19 shutdown). But when this strip was written in 1973 the Oregon Shakespeare Festival would be going strong. You could do your English paper on the plays that you saw in Ashland.
Not good subject matter Sally, but at least Sally could write cursive at her age … something today’s kids can’t do. (for the most part, since they stopped teaching cursive years ago)
I remember writing a theme paper that began with “What to write, what to write, what to write.” I didn’t say anything about waste or bummer but as I mused onward I eventually got to the value of education. (This was a religious education course.) This paper turned out to be one of my best and the professor agreed.
oh i used to do that all the time…after 8 years at grammar school found out last day, my teachers used to pass around those assignments, so they could all read them…last day of school, that last year..i got kept after school, (for talking in class, again) by my favorite teacher and he finally told me
Good for you, Sally. You are learning a valuable lesson at a young age. You can’t always say what you think or feel. I did that in high school once with a teacher I had in my sophmore and senior years. She asked for homework that I thought was frivilous so I provided it with a light sarcastic touch because I was tired of having her for a teacher. She saw right through it and had a come to Jesus discussion with me. Learned a lesson there.
I think twice before checking Peanuts into a new day after discovering that the day’s comic is NOT online at 1:15a in East Coast USA, the home of Charles Schulz. ‘What gives here,’ as Sally would ask.

I’m sure you can find some memes on themes if you search hard enough, Sally! :D

Sally’s paper would have been great in “Venting your frustrations out 101”…

It was also a bummer for COVID-19 and the George Floyd protests and riots in recent months.

That might have resulted in a parent-teacher conference if you went forward with it.

Sally was often Schulz’s conduit for criticizing the state of education. Maybe we should have listened?

The last of the year? Anyone ever tell Sally about summer school? Think she’s probably headed that way.
