Well, look at it this way, Calvin… If there weren’t any compulsory school attendance laws, there’s a decent chance that you would be working in a factory all day..
I’m thinking Calvin would lose consciousness on a hot, humid day while sitting at a school desk …. aka falling asleep. I don’t know if climate change was a thing back when I was in school because I don’t remember having super hot days in Michigan in Sept when school started, nor did we have any really hot days arrive before we got out of school in the first week of June. Or maybe I was in a financially poor school district, and we never had air conditioning in our schools. I do know we rarely were allowed to open the windows in school because it was deemed too distracting to the students to allow for this.
Well Cal, If you didn’t go to school, you might just end up like your father. Desperately uneducated and unaware of how important it is to listen to the opinion of the people.

Well, if the good book was the “Calvin and Hobbs Portable Compendium”, I’d be OK with that.

But most kids would rather be at the beach in that kind of weather, Calvin.

Calvin could study and become a lawyer and then a judge and then he could “save the world” for little kids everywhere hahahaha

Calvin is showing early signs of depression so it’s probably hereditory.

If each student has to call the judge individually, that would be one busy judge.

Basically the exact opposite of how the school year normally works where Calvin lives. Hopefully the school has a good HVAC system in place!
