Today’s strip was featured in The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book. Watterson explains underneath, “I learned a lot at school but I don’t remember it with affection.” That point shows in most of his school strips.
Well, that’s a nice try. Even though a project might stink, use pretty words and maybe you’ll convince a few. I did it a lot in school. So much ‘smart bluffing’ I did.
I went to first and second grade in the L.S. school district. They tried to teach me the alphabet but I didn’t learn. So my mom, a classical piano player, taught me. She said the alphabet goes from A to G and then starts again with A!
Hey, everyone! I am writing a journal that will have studies on fictional supernatural creatures like in Gravity Falls. The journal will be about an anonymous author who travels around the world studying strange creatures that are known as “Superstition” I need ideas for creatures and places, any ideas?
Top marks for Calvin but then some discussion is needed about being able to read, write, and math – maybe some critical thinking as well if that hasn’t been banned by the local religious nuts.

Mrs. Wormwood doesn’t get it. Calvin wants to be unique and exquisite outside, not ordinary and boring inside.

You have to admit, he’s right. Calvin is definitely more unique than all of the other kids.

Moved by his presentation, all classes for this winter will be held outside.

One of the big challenges I found in teaching was making sure foundational knowledge was acquired without stifling creativity.

Calvin understands more than his “teacher”, but he expresses his frustrations in un-social ways.

Calvin should be either a pastor or a professor.
