Yeah, it really sucks. But we've seen how deliberate Anthony is. I always felt like it was a little dumb to make a whole message out of "Antimony." But now I think that was part of Tom's attempt to show us just how deliberate the guy is. I wonder what his relationship was like with Surma. Did he start being able to handle some of the smallest things after awhile? My mind's going wild. Edit: From what we've seen I would not put it past Anthony to force such a conversation between the two of them. Then again, I don't know if this is one of those "small things" that bothers him greatly or not. Also, I had an idea why no one else called her out on it but the idea slipped my mind. Hell, at least he is finally acting like a father figure. It is kind of creepy when you realize that this is the most emotional and caring way we've seen him act in so far. I am really interested what motives does he have. I doubt he just come to the Court to call his daughter out on cheating and then leg it. I'm laughing so hard at the idea of Anthony coming in to teach one class, reprimand Annie "in front of Kat," and then just run out of there for his life and across the bridge or something because he can't deal with it and just goes back into hiding for a few more years. |

Indeed... Monday has Annie leave, unable to find Kat (because the latter has fled, paralleling chapter 45), and then a panel with Anthony with a small, cruel smile. He calls in Kat from the hall and has Annie come clean to and apologize to her and tries to convince her to become involved in the manner of a tutor to Annie?  |

He'll do it  I am hoping not on the grounds that it would be a pretty poor writing. Thing, that GC is clean of so far. |

I wonder if Anthony not giving Annie a book had something to do with watching to see how she worked together with Kat. I feel like something about this was important, but I can't fully put my finger on it. If he's going to threaten to remove her from the class or from Queslett then perhaps she won't need one. And also (I'm not claiming conspiracy here, just wondering), why didn't anyone else call her out on this? This has been going on for a while now. He tells us. Her schoolwork appears satisfactory at first blush. "It was discovered..?" Now, who would cross-check Antimony's particular answers with her friends when all appears well? That's a time and labor-intensive endeavor, though Anthony whoever did so probably hit pay-dirt on first try... And now he/they have a lever... |

Well, the logical conclusion now would be that Anthony will make it so she's transferred away to another.. house? That's why she did not get a book. She does not need it - she won't be studying with the others. P.S. Darn it imaginaryfriend, beating me to it by seconds. |

How recently did Annie get discovered I wonder? 2 years of cheating, and no one noticed or said anything until around now? Man, this is really causing my brain to itch now. when I cheated at that age, my school let me keep cheating for half a year before calling me out on it. They knew pretty early on but wanted to give me a chance to stop on my own. Two years is too long tho. Didn't Annie dream alittle bit about cheating when Zimmy was wondering around her mind? Maybe that was enough of a hint for Anthony to investigate his daughter's school work? |

With powerful, etheric computers available to check things, I'm astonished this wasn't discovered the first time Annie tried. Or perhaps it was, but nobody called her on it, because the Court's first priority has never really been academics. |

It would explain some of the other experiments going on with the ether. And we never really did learn the... Headmaster's? Motives. It's been implied there are definitely motives, otherwise why was Annie not chosen? I will say though I'm a way bigger fan of Smitty being the court medium and Annie being the forest medium. |

Wow! Coming to see today's page, I was just thinking of how extremely undisciplined Annie has been, thinking of that syllabus moment in the beginning. It is just so very characteristic of Annie not to have prepared to course at all, having left the syllabus unread. Then speaking without permission. She would probably have slept over the class had Tony not made her to work with Kat (and wasn't the teacher her father, of course), because that's what she has been doing in school so far. That all other teachers let her go with that was probably because she returned impeccable home work and excelled in exams, and they just never doubted her despite she would have been busted by merely asking her questions on class about last courses stuff, as she would not know it. Thinking of that, I just couldn't help but think how bad and anomaly the situation is when Annie being just about the worst student in the whole school despite having got probably about the best grades, and how notable this is. She's got probably better grades than even Kat, because Kat isn't good in history where Annie brills. Those who called this is all about disciplining Annie seem to be right. I withhold the cookies still, but baked them already.  This whole chapter is completely explainable from that point of view. Finally, I have to say this: thank you Tom! This page proves that Anthony is not neglecting but actually extremely attentive father. No other teacher had noticed Annie cheating, it took her father to go through her whole studies, and I very much doubt he did that for other students, more likely he merely compared their results to Annie's. This is special attention of greatest degree towards both what Annie has been doing and what she is becoming. Calling him a bad father when he's done this as his first thing when he returned from his duties that had drag him away from his daughter!? I ask you to come up with another father who would have as his first thing when coming home gone through all the school work his daughter has done. That's pretty extreme fathering! Being that greatly interested in your daughter's doings... most of the fathers I know would hardly check the grades and leave it to that if they are good, not willing to care about what their kid is actually doing and learning in the school. It's a very childish attitude that to be a good father would mean making it all fun and games for your kids, when it is really much more about taking responsibility over their lives, which is what Anthony is doing wholeheartedly. |

Yes, Annie deserved to have this chicken come home to roost and it should have happened sooner.
No, it doesn't remotely excuse Anthony's actions prior to this. It doesn't even excuse raising this before he has said one word about why he has abandoned her for 2 years, then didn't tell her he was returning until he showed up teaching her class.

Are we to believe that Anthony simply never once put his name anywhere on the fundamental outline of the class he would be teaching, or is it to be considered likely that Kat read that name, and either failed to make the connection, or if she did, neglected to mention this piece of critical information to Annie? Seems suspect to me. |

Seems suspect to me. To me it seems obvious that the teacher was unannounced in the syllabus, because otherwise he would have not had any reason to tell it, let alone the students to be surprised with it. The syllabus is just the beginning. She could have possibly avoided coming there without makeup had she read the syllabus and was it mentioned there. If not, then not. After that, she's just generally undisciplined, as if she had never been to a school class - which is almost true, because she sleeps over them all the time, when she hasn't skipped them for medium classes or trips to the Forest. The point why I raised the syllabus reading thing is just that it would be very characteristic of Annie not to pay attention to things like this as she globally neglects her responsibilities. It was about the time somebody disciplines her. |

He made the syllabus, and judging by everyone's reactions at the start (and the fact that everyone was struggling after), no one knew he was going to be the teacher or that he had a new syllabus. I ahve no idea where you're coming from here. |

Teachers are people too, their lives are as meaningful to them as anyone else's are to them. Perhaps everything gets fed into computers (though not etheric computers, given the Court's distrust of anything that can't be explained scientifically) but this circumstance would seem to take enough time and effort that I smell a fishing expedition. Maybe not by Anthony, but by someone looking for something to use. Anthony would seem to be the best suspect. |

And makeup had nothing to do with schoolwork, so I'm still waiting for an explanation of that. I'd be willing to debate this further if you want later, but I have to sleep now if I want to be functional tomorrow for my classes, sorry. How irresponsible would it be from me to prevent you from preparing to your classes, young Daedalus. Oh, this reminds me of something I had to speak to you about... Daedalus, I'm your father.  So, don't mind to respond now. I will, however, but please, continue later. I ask you to notice that if he actually did not care about Annie's feelings, he would have spoken to her about cheating before the whole class. Instead, he asked her to stay behind so that he can speak to her about it in privacy. So, I'd say he was very kind or at minimum sensitive toward her. Why to then be so strict, and for example send her to wash off her make up and not give her a book? Well, firstly, that was disciplining, making her already feel uneasy and a bit bad which is a better preparation to calling out her cheating than letting her feel all comfortable and well just until that. It is better than she's already emotionally waiting something negative than to bring it all as a surprise. Secondly, notice here that this was just putting her strictly to the general order: nobody is allowed to interrupt the teacher, nobody is allowed to wear makeup (or I'd suppose that it meant that). She requests such special attention already because she's so very undisciplined and uncaring about her responsibilities in school. Thirdly, these two come together: the facts that he's her father and had gone through her school work and realised she's been cheating, likely contributed to that special disciplining during the class. As I stated above, that is only very reasonable way to prepare the situation when they actually talk about the important thing: that she's not only doing awfully in school, but has been cheating so much she shouldn't have passed any grade so far. She must understand that that makes also the smaller, apparently arbitrary things of behaviour during the class important. That she is not focusing to the classes is the number one reason why she's failing her studies, so it is important to start from the basics: come to classes as expected and focus to the subject, not to something else - and there's really no other way to do this but to make her behave during the class, so it is necessary that he calls her back to order, even harshly first, so that she'll feel that she actually has to behave. Her fatherly schooling must start from that. Fourthly, he might have wanted to observe how she works with Kat - does she rather just copy Kat, letting her do all the work, or did she actually study with Kat, contributing some herself, in which case this could be a way to make her study and learn: pair her up with Kat so that she gets personal tutoring and might catch a nerd bug. |

Perhaps everything gets fed into computers (though not etheric computers, given the Court's distrust of anything that can't be explained scientifically) but this circumstance would seem to take enough time and effort that I smell a fishing expedition. Maybe not by Anthony, but by someone looking for something to use. Anthony would seem to be the best suspect. Hmmm... yes, there's the possibility that somebody else realized this and called Anthony to come there to discipline Annie. But it certainly seems more likely that this person would have just spoken to Annie directly and it indeed took Anthony to make that effort to go through Annie's exams. That said, if anybody ever was suspicious of Annie (seen her class skipping and sleeping on classes, I would have been suspicious of her getting so good results), they could have just woken her up during the class to answer a couple of questions to which she should know the answers as she has aced the exams on the subject, and then observe that she doesn't know what they're talking about. |

Err what. Where did you get that? From this chapter. Yes, I've been reading this comic too, but I couldn't see any line hinting at she didn't read the syllabus, or wasn't any less prepared that any other student, or that make-up rules were mentioned in it, or anything. |

This whole chapter is completely explainable from that point of view.
