What Are YOU Getting out of School?
Description
Buzzy asks: "What Are YOU Getting out of School?
Comic description: Jan reflects on how when he first started school in America, he studied very hard but felt lonely. Soon he was able to make friends and participate in extracurricular activities. Jan tells his friends "That's what school means to me-- not only learning and the studying but all those other things you get a chance to do." Buzzy says that Jan has reminded him not to take all of the advantages of a free education for granted.
[Image description: Superboy is on a stage surrounded by an audience and lifts a huge 1 ton weight over his head. A sign next to him says "Clark Kent performing Superboy feats". He looks surprised and a thought bubble says: "Gosh! This isn't the fake prop prepared for Clark's act, but the REAL THING! Lana Lang's tricked me!". Lana Lang sticks her head out from behind the curtain on stage and her thought bubble says: "I've proved Clark is Superboy once and for all!".]
