It wouldn't be a problem for a kid with such eloquence to write any paper.

The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Why is it so hard to believe? It's a recurring theme in the comics and something all too real for a ton of students.
Calvin is eloquent, intelligent, and wildly imaginative, but struggles with things like deadlines and homework.
It’s a recurring theme
And one of the most delightful. Who hasn't been told at some point, "if you put half as much effort into [task] as you did into [avoidance strategy] you'd have been fine"?
Finally internalizing how much nicer it is put in a little bit of effort in advance rather than stressful scrambling after procrastinating was literally life changing. I don’t think I even realized how much subconscious stress I was under during the procrastination. But my kids are just like “shut up dad”
Thats easy, just have shit short term memory and you'll feel no stress until you're reminded about it.
because homeword is boring. give him something which he enjoys doing and see the magic :D
There is a balance though. I'm about to get deeper into c&h than I'd have thought, but here I go. He always seemed to have reasonable adults around him, I recall options, and him just being mischievous often. You can support what kids love but you still need to teach them the time management and organizational skills. They are important to develop as well.
I tend to read most of it as a thinly veiled vent for Watterson himself.
Grinding on the dailies and square formats when what he really wanted to be working on is splashing out in the Sunday pages.
Unfortunately for Calvin, an eloquent and well thought out speech about the death of craftsmanship and ruthless mechanical efficiency wasn't on topic to the assignment about what you did over the summer (or whatever other assignment it is)
2 is really not enough to make any paper worth writing though
He's 6 years old, shat kind of paper would she be asking them to write??
Edit: I'm leaving it
Haha shat
Karlvin Marx explaining one of the dimensions of the alienated labour.
I thought it was Howard Roark
Is he wrong though?
