Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 21, 2012

Say… that sounds like a good idea! Wish I had tried that when I went to school!

Social Studies = Microsoft vs. Linux

Fidgeting in your sleep is easy when you have adhd. lol

Calvin, wearing the ping pong ball halves over his eyes: “Or do I look too interested?”

Hobbes, standing behind Calvin: “I doubt it. I’m standing over here.”

Social Studies is what used to be called World History, but now it’s a study of the last 2 years (max).

this looks soooo much like calvin, im suprised that there hasn’t been a legal issue yet

Depending on the year, social studies used to be state, national, and world history, geography, or civics. Our first exposure to world history was in the 6th grade. It was my favorite subject — especially when my father pointed out the errors and limitations in the text book (it totallly ignored the histories of Asia and pre-Columbian Americas).

Didn’t Calvin try this once?

He could listen to a zombie movie while sleeping and his body would act out the nightmare. Until he’s awakened and starts using his chainsaw on that person.

7th grade Social Studies in CA: a world tour during the Middle Ages (fall of Rome to Enlightenment). In my classes, we acted out trade deals, heard music, looked at art, read various materials, made maps. All this and more to study the “GEographic, Political, Historic, Religious, and Social culture of …” various places in the world. (pronouced gephers). 8 grade – US History, 18th & 19th centuries. 10th grade World Hist. continued. 11th grade US Hist. continued.

Where did we go in World History (Middle Ages)? West Africa, China, Japan, Mayas, Aztecs, Incas, Arab culture & Islam, Europe – and linked Europe to Western Hemisphere & Middle East. 6th grade had Gephers topics for ancient cultures.

Those aren’t “little” if they fit over human eyes . . .Like the “muppet” comment

The snoring and the head bobbing always gave me away.

Waking up explosively from a bad dream in study hall…..
