Cold, reptilian creature that he is, the reality of where Anthony could take this is a stressful prospect to say the least. I agree that his head is screwed on the wrong way, but what do you have against reptiles? That guy from Cardiff in the previous chapter was pretty nice. And probably warm, for that matter.  And there's a reptile that's doing a pretty good job of running an orphanage near Wapsi Square. |

Hello! I am a quite new to Gunnerkrigg Court, having discovered it roughly half a year ago and following it since and only now I have gathered my courage to join the forums to participate in the wild speculation.
First of all, I wonder how much Antimony really has cheated? We have seen her copying homework at the dorms and a lab report or a worksheet during class and that sort of behaviour seems common, but there should also be stuff like tests and exams in schools where blatant copying should be a lot harder under the ever-watching eye of the teacher (or does she use her etheric abilities there?). Thanks to all extra-curricular activities she has maybe she just doesn't have the time to do homework in subjects she's not very good with. Also given that her mask covered the act of copying the homework I'm guessing she's quite ashamed of that and especially afraid of Kat finding out?
(On an off-topic note, I have gotten into a surprisingly large amount of trouble because on a certain test most of my cursive "l"'s were tilted to one side and hence I have cheated from my neighbour. Despite the fact that our test questions were completely different.)
Secondly, all currently showcased emotional abuse aside, I wonder what their family was like when Surma was still alive and how well does Antimony really know her father? They did interact in the hospital as shown in the martial arts lesson and the part where her father had told her that the lady next door will be leaving soon. There was also some tutoring on his part, likely mostly in biology and medicine (she did bring a set of surgical tools to some kind of an exhibition early in the story). Also she must have gotten her lockpicks (and knowledge to use them) from somewhere and if her mother didn't really leave the hospital that leaves only her father. And yet when Antimony is asked about her father she replies that he is a quiet man. Given their interactions, she should know him a little better than that, after all, they were in that hospital for ten years or so and she is quite similar to him actually.
My prediction for next page: Anthony lays down the rules which likely limit her visits to the forest and other actions that aren't related to studying and schoolwork. Maybe Anthony offer to tutor her which would improve my opinion of him (of course that sort of thing isn't really a game with a score for example: severe humiliation in front of the class: -10 points. He did it all for her sake: +20 points. Overall score: +10 points therefore he is a good father.).

"Also, Antimony, this Kamlen individual is clearly incompatible..." oh my god, I didn't realize it could be THAT terrible. He knows about Kamlen, he knows about Annie's thing for Jones, he knows about the cheating, but worse of all... he knows Kat is Annie's companion. this is way too much information to know about Ann for a man who hasn't spent a single second of time with her. Who does Tony think he is, the Reader? |

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? Good point. Zimmy got hit by Annie's memory garbage and earlier left Jack with spiders, so it's not implausible that such contact with her could leave some junk memories in others too. On the other eyestalk, "no patience for etheric nonsene" Tony is unlikely to be the sort of a man who would believe his dreams and strange hallucinations. On the third eyestalk, we don't know: - Anything about his experiences with magic stuff and Surma. - Whether he even got personal experience of REM sleep at all. I won't bet on that about someone in the Court whose mental processes already seems to be atypical. - Whether his critical thinking is impaired in some weird way (fairly likely), and if yes, whether this would prevent him from questioning "how" he knows something, once he remembers it. Incidentally, since he insisted that she call him "Sir", shouldn't he address her as "Carver" instead of "Antimony" while they're in the classroom? This may mean that the lesson ended and now it's a non-official part. Or simply that since there are two Carvers in the room, Anthony wanted to be quite clear that he doesn't talk to himself. Heh, "what a man of fake tin would think" easily turns toward dark comedy. That's eerily believable. "Also, Antimony, this Kamlen individual is clearly incompatible..." That also would be a giveaway. |

Guys, you should keep in mind the fact that in the panel we saw, Carver had to look down at the sheet of paper and didn't seem to bluntly acknowledge familiarity with the name Donlan. So he probably doesn't know too much about Kat's and Annie's relationship. And the ellipses implied he hadn't memorized the name Katerina Donlan, which implies he's unaware.

I think it is fairly safe to assume that Anthony knows Katrina Donlan is the daughter of his best/only friend Donald Donlan. Maybe Anthony's disappointment in Annie is even greater because Kat is the student Anthony thought any daughter of his should be. I might accuse Anthony of being jealous, but I don't know if he feels that emotion.

I bet there's a German word to describe that exact feeling, when you wish you had someone else's child because your own does not please you as much. |

So many good posts! Anthony aside, I really don't get why people are saying this is going to cause a rift between Annie and Kat, or that Kat will be angry. When Annie ran away after spotting Kat kissing Paz, Kat handled the situation maturely and demonstrated that she's both willing and capable when it comes to dealing with Annie's hangups. I feel like Kat is less likely to be angry and more likely to be distressed that Annie has been trying to struggle alone. I feel like if she's going to be hurt at all, it'll be over the fact that Annie didn't trust Kat enough to ask her for help. Indeed, they've been through a lot. I can understand some people feeling let down, even angry - and maybe Kat would feel a tinge of that - but I think in the end concern/sympathy are the emotions that'd dominate. Especially considering the Anthony situation. Kat's first words wont be "how could you do this?!", they'll be "why didn't you tell me?". That, or "man, I'd like to punch your dad. What a jerk". I've been thinking, how many parents have we actually seen in the comic, besides the school staff? Do we really know how much contact the other students have with their families? Sure, Anthony wasn't there for summer vacations or anything, but maybe he wasn't that much of an absent parent, by Gunnerkrigg standards. I don't know about that. I went to a school that had a lot of boarders (I was a day student), and they had pretty regular contact with their families, as well as getting to return home more than once over the course of the year. Unless you're a forest student I don't imagine GC students are 100% cut off, baring holidays. Plus it felt like an unusual absence, judging by how other characters responded to it. I think every single reaction shot we saw involving Antimony or Kat on the first two pages would indicate she was. Those weren't the faces of people that were expecting Anthony at all, let alone as teacher. I don't think what we've seen has born that out*, since there's no indication Antimony had any reason to think cosmetics were against the rules. That this is an Anthony rule, not a school rule, though seems supported by him specifying "cosmetics are not allowed in my classes". *Nor, for that matter, that she's got that mindset in regards to things like the dress code, which she seems to have always adhered to. After all, she's been wearing her makeup at GC since she arrived, long before coming out of her shell and developing her burst of rebelliousness. If it is a new rule though (which Antimony has either not heard of, or less likely ignored), one has to wonder why the court is suddenly introducing such draconian policies. Will hair styles be next? Will Red no longer be allowed to have hair that goes up? Exactly. This is a private school where kids spend all year without their parents. Not only Annie. The only difference are the vacations. And now he is getting involved with her education, which, when compared to the other students who do not require their parents to come guard them, is a failure from Annie's part. Hence, disappointed. Since we only follow two students closely we can't be sure if any other students have had trouble, have had their parents contacted or anything. Or how much support they get from home. But as always - having familial support - even a little - can be quite important for some students. Plenty of struggling students only get help when their parents realize "something isn't right". And some students who have trouble can trace it back to a negative family situation. Pretty much every student who got to visit a parent over the holidays has had significantly more support than Antimony has from Anthony. But yes, it's fair for him to be disappointed, as a parent, that his child has cheated. Less so if he doesn't consider that perhaps he, or his absence, could be a factor behind in it. Even less so if the first emotion he wants to share with his child - after not sharing any for a long, unexplained, essentially silent absence - is disappointment. Ah the syllabus. We sure seem hung up on a supposed document that the comic itself hasn't bothered to explain in any detail or ascribe any importance to beyond a solitary line that merely confirms that a syllabus-shaped object exists and nothing more. It's almost like it's not really relevant to this situation and any qualities we're attaching to it are purely imaginary. Treason! All Hail the Mighty Syllabus, Its Words Are Law! To be honest whenever I think of it I just imagine a napkin with "Sillybus - by Dr. Anthony Carver, ALL THE LETTERS" written on it. The o has an angry face in the centre. Tom really should have handed out a syllabus before this chapter started. Heheheheh. I wonder how good he would be at manipulating Jones. Would her supposed lack of understanding of humanity make her predictable and easy to control, or would her great age and experience allow her to go "Hmm. That makes perfect sense. A most extraordinary amount of perfect sense. And just what are the possible long term results and implications of this thing which is so perfectly sensible? What are the motivations for it?". Jones has always struck me as very difficult to manipulate (even by tricksters). If anything her proclaimed lack of understanding of humanity probably makes it all the harder as people tend to underestimate her in the field. So no, I think Jones has grok'd people pretty well, and would most likely respond in the latter way. And considering she cares for Antimony she'd step in if she thought Anthony's intentions weren't beneficial. She was studying better than her peers early on, when that home education was still in her recent memory, and longer the time that has elapsed since she quit that home schooling, the worse she's been doing. She did not start out handicapped, but has only not advanced like the others, and the reason is obvious and has so been for so long that it is mere denialism to not accept it now: she has been head full of all kinds of adventures and has not been doing her school work, instead copying from Kat. Which, right there, could be an excellent explanation for struggling - Antimony would not be the first kid who found it difficult to adapt from very different educational delivery methods. Students can even struggle just going from a discussion heavy teacher to one who mainly relies on a text book (and vice versa), let alone going from a homeschooling situation to a traditional classroom. Though we still can't be sure of that, any of it, because we really haven't had an insight into Antimony the student, other than she cheats. As edzepp points out. Which is binary thinking - that because he excelled (and certainly did - though sometimes with external motivation) he couldn't have also struggled. You seem to be aware of some of the facts, so I imagine you have looked into the nature of the German (and surrounding) educational systems at the time, and saw what Einstein's issues with it were. Confusion over his expulsion/voluntarily leaving come from the time period in which they were due to occur. I've seen both claims held up, but I've found more historical backing for the expulsion beating Einstein to the punch, since school record keeping is a thing. Likewise for why he had more success tackling the subjects he'd been less than comfortable with after. Parts of Einstein's schooling experience were, in short, a golden example of how school systems can be a barrier to students, and can fail to account for their strengths/weaknesses/learning styles. Unfortunately similar issues still exist today, but it is slowly improving (in some places). In my school it'd actually be the other way round - cheating on even one exam would be more serious than handing in a year of plagiarized (non-assessment) homework. They are also the form of assessment that tends to have the best anti-cheating monitoring. If Antimony has completed any exams I would imagine she completed them without access to Kat's exam paper. Unless she's blinker stone spying, or something. |

What business is it of his? He hasn't been her father for all intents and purposes for several years now, and he treated her like dirt (and a stranger, or worse) in class, as well as telling her that she has no right to know anything about him. She should just tell him to go to hell and shove his disappointment where the sun don't shine, also that he's an evil, immature, sorry excuse for a human being for being gone so long and providing her with no support of any kind. She won't, of course, like many children who have been abused by parents(*). Still, I'm still rooting for Reynardine or some of the other teachers to rip a few holes in this cretin. (*From her memories of him that we've seen, he treated her like dirt her entire life, including blaming her for her mother's dying when - let's see - who was it who knocked her mother up? Yes, he's a dirtbag through and through, and I'm not buying any apologies or explanations for him.)

Unless she's blinker stone spying, or something. You do not seem to understand: it's "schoolwork", not "homework". Schoolwork implies also the work done in classes, including exams. Paper homework written on a notebook ( which is the kind they appear to be doing in GKC) usually is returned to students, whereas from exams of different kind a record of right and wrong answers by students may easily be held, which is why it is times more likely that what has gone through is not Annie's homework, but her exams (I wonder how he's be able to read through all her homework from last couple of years as Annie seem to be holding that in her room). It's not that she's cheated in one or two exams, but in almost all of the exams. |

Except that teacher doesn't have a prior history of being a parent who ditched him. I mean I get your point, but it would be better served with a teacher who is also a parent of the student and prior to showing up was absent from said kid's life. Between mention of that strip and the teacher from Harry Potter, this video sums it up best: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueZ6tvqhk8U |

You do realize it doesn't exactly help one's position if you need to flagrantly misrepresent their argument, to the point of lying? If your own is strong enough it'll stand on its merits, and defeats opposition and criticism on those merits as well. I mean my posts are there for anyone who wants to read them. They can see I said no such thing, opposite in fact, as I acknowledge grade retention can be potentially useful in certain situations, but not in others (counter, in fact, if it comes with damage to student mental/emotional wellbeing). The fact is we don't know if it will be useful to Antimony, because Anthony never bothered to speak to here. Big flaw. And with each passing strip Anthony seems to be doing things less and less concerned with helping Annie pass school without cheating. I mean today's... well, there's a girl who's ready to pass year 9, compared to the girl we saw at the start of this chapter. And who singled out the Swedish education system only after you brought it up as part of the Scandinavian nations? (Claiming them as evidence of the success of grade retention, when most avoid when possible). Who singled it out as nation with excellent education results that avoids grade retention except in very certain targeted situation? As a nation with and education philosophy that supports my entire argument? I could have picked Denmark, or Norway, or... as well, but I know Sweden best. That you mock the notion of student self-esteem as important though is quite telling. |

Who singled it out as nation with excellent education results that avoids grade retention except in very certain targeted situation? Their education philosophy which underpins my entire argument, and finding flaw in Anthony's stratagy that doesn't even include speaking to Antimony, and the way it has been handled which seems to have done far more than touch her "dear self-esteem". That you mock the notion of student self-esteem as important though is quite telling. As I said, out of all nordic countries, you picked Sweden. The point in the post above is not about the Nordic in general, it is exactly that Sweden is the one out of all of them where the school system is producing worse results than Central- and Southern Europe countries (which made me wonder whether you know anything at all about what you are talking about there), and for one big reason because students are let pass the grades without developing sufficient mastery. Indeed, Sweden just went through a change of their school system, which was probably insufficient but anyway, reacted to their obvious shortcomings. And we can find your posts, you do repetitively oppose the idea that the student should be made to pass the grades legitimately even after they have once failed in it. And it is quite telling that when I mock the ideological protection of student self-esteem from, you know, learning, you read it as mocking the whole idea of self-esteem. This may, however, have to do with your seriously obsolete understanding of learning. If anything, Calvin should here be developing his self-esteem for much better. It is very much worthwhile to tell people that they're doing awfully, are not trying enough, and should try better, instead of letting them dwell in their false self-image of mastery. That should be told early enough. |

As I said, out of all nordic countries, you picked Sweden. I edited my post while you were replying for clarity, and because I remembered at the time I could have picked Denmark, or Norway, or a couple of other ones. But I know Sweden best. Fact is most of the Scandinavian countries avoid grade retention as a policy, except in certain targeted situations. Your use of them supported my argument better than your own. Depends on the metric one is using, because "mastery" is a rather old school notion, due to its narrow usage in the past. But that's a whole other kettle of fish. Also - generalization. All Central & Sourthern European countries? No need to answer, we both know But certainly - it's tops less lists than Norway, or Finland. But depending on the monitor it's 3rd, or 5th, or 10th... I've seen more lists where it's rated above France, then below. But would you like me to make it hard for you, and switch to Norway or Denmark, since you dislike Sweden? They have similar educational philosophies, after all, and support my case just as well. Finland, on the other hand, has been high on some lists (or even tops some), and it still has a high grade retention rate. See, I don't mind acknowledging views that don't support my own, Finland is definitely interesting. Which is a part of why I respect their system. You seem to see adapting and making changes when needed/when data allows one to see better ways, as a weakness. I see it as a strength. Your intellectual dishonesty disappoints me, I must say. Please - you're the person who said it was good Anthony launched a personal attack Antimony, so she'd already be feeling terrible when he spoke to her about cheating, because apparently it's better to start at the bottom when getting bad news, then take it while not emotionally drained. Your posts show one of the most questionable understanding of self-esteem I think I've seen. Besides which - I've never said they shouldn't have to pass legitimately. I've said constantly - and you've consistently ignored in favor of strawmen - that whatever options are available need to be decided on only after the child is consulted with/examined, and it's determined which one will actually help them learn and pass their grades legitimately. If there's an alternative to grade retention that will produce better results than grade retention when all is said and done why wouldn't you use it? Pigheaded stubbornness? I honestly don't know why you don't want to make sure kids will learn, in favor of blanket strategies that won't necessarily address anything. "Eh, they failed?* Just make 'em do it again and hope it'll work better 2nd time round." And again - accusing the person advocating problem solving, and a solutions focus, of seriously obsolete understanding of learning, from the person who champions automatic grade retention and a "the child should be seen, and not heard" policy. Tell me - if my understanding is outdated, why is grade retention increasingly unpopular? How can something be outdated, when it is a current - and widely spread - trend? *Or didn't fail at all. Plenty made to repeat don't. I honestly have no idea what that sentence means. If you're saying Anthony should be developing Antimony's self-esteem for the better - agreed. Though if you're saying "What Anthony is doing here will develop Antimony's self-esteem for the better" - well, you're going to have to explain that one. Is that your understanding of what a streaming system etc does? *shakes head* Besides which - of course they should be told. But it needs to be constructive criticism, as opposed to just criticism. "You're doing awful, do less awful" helps no student. "You could be doing better, here's how" does. Pity Anthony's doing it over 2 years late, isn't it? |
