Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

MODERATORS
They may not, but municipalities do. I have two kids in east coast public schools being my source, just as a heads up.
Yeah, it’s pretty common for states, districts, administrators, and parents to misunderstand the students, their needs, and how best to address their needs. Teachers can have misunderstandings, too, but more often their failure to meet students’ needs comes from their hands being tied in various ways by the other groups. It’s pretty rare for them to pass the blame (publicly) since they’re much more focused on the immediate classroom issues in front of them.
And all of this varies extremely widely in the U.S. since education is handled by the states with the only federal influence coming from stuff like asserting requirements in exchange for funding for (for example) low income meals.
