Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 02, 2023

In panel 4, Coach John’s hand isn’t colored in

Ah, of course Coach John is going to be in this

“Those who can, do. Or do not. There is no try.”

Perfect quote from “School of Rock”. “Those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t teach, teach gym”

Coach John actually used to be a really skilled soccer player, but he broke his leg or something and then everything fell apart. If I’m wrong, tell me.

2/10 What could possibly happen in the next two days?

Those who can’t teach, administrate, in my experience.

heh, that was a good add-on, with coach John and with Francis’s line

From Animal House…“Get down and give me 20”.

The real quote should be in coach john’s case Those who can’t do, Those who can teach considering Coach John can’t even see his feet

That quote doesn’t make sense to me

Coach John can’t do or teach.

Strip rating: 7/10 I love Coach John.

MY DI from Parris Island would beg to differ…he was 40 & could do more than anyone in the squad …while running backwards & yelling

I can’t make technology work. Don’t ask me to teach a computer class.

……..case in point, Fran-Man, Case. In. Point!……watch and learn, Nate…….

I’ve always hated that quote. If it weren’t for good teachers there’d be no doers.

The example that proves the point. Gym teachers, if they can’t play the game anymore, should at least be in halfway decent shape at least if they want to teach……

There are all sorts of frustrated coaches out there. Frustrated, because they themselves didn’t become the ‘big sports star’ they always dreamed of being in younger times. … So, how do they react afterward? …

But wouldn’t you need some semblance of “can” if you’re going to teach?

this arc is awful but im glad its different then the past couple days

That is a very divisive statement and one that out to be discontinued. It is not funny, and it’s disrespectful to all teachers.

Oh yeah, I’m the guy with the future tyrantiar picture, forgot what i called myslef, it’s been a while

And those who can’t teach? They teach gym.

“…and those who can’t teach administrate.”

A little rude to teachers, but as a student, I get it. In this case, coach John deserves it, so 7.8/10. (I’m optimistic about these strips)Also, you’d need a shred of “Can” to be able to teach. So maybe 7.6/10.
