FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Safety First" published September 25, 2022 - Transcript: Paige Fox: I thought lunch was lasagna today. Lunch Lady: This IS lasagna. Paige Fox: It doesn't look like lasagna. It looks like gray glop. Lunch Lady: We make it that way on purpose. It's for your safety. This school houses 1,200 ravenous teenagers. Imagine the stampedes every lunchtime if the cafeteria served appetizing food. If we didn't do things like add gray food coloring to fool people, you'd likely be getting trampled right now. Paige Fox: I see. Lunch Lady: You're welcome. Paige Fox: It doesn't smell like lasagna, either. Lunch Lady: Again, you're welcome.

Will you be implementing a "degree of difficulty" scale in your grading? Miss O'Malley: A what? Jason Fox: Like how in the olympic diving and gymnastics, one can score more points by doing things in a more difficult fashion. For example, if I were to take the quiz holding a sharpie with my teeth while standing on my head, could I potentially earn a score higher than the 10/10 baseline? Miss O'Malley: No, 10/10 is the maximum grade. Jason Fox: Phooey. Can I do those things anyway? I kinda spent all summer practicing. Miss O'Malley: Speaking of summer, next year's is HOW many months away?
