Only referring to Frazz’s Panel Two comment here: Isn’t asking somebody just as valid as looking something up?
Of course, looking it up has the advantage that you can usually just get the answer without your source criticizing your methods.

So… she’s too young to pronounce “Valentine’s” correctly, yet she knows the difference between “pendant” and “pedant.” – Bill

Since a neckline that covers only the mouth is a fairly poor excuse for a disguise, especially when this is somebody you supposedly know well and is talking to you, I’m reading this as a break-the-fourth-wall reference to the fact that other than Caulfield, the children at Bryon Elementary are literally interchangeable and even Frazz can’t tell them apart.
And just like that, Mrs. Olson devolves into an absolute moron.
Whistlepig
I understand every word of this, yet have no idea how any of it ties together.
I feel this worth mentioning (or repeating, since I’m old and have no idea whether I’ve already said various things): my entire teaching career totaled less than a year, yet I had no problem keeping kids like Caulfield from disrupting the class with irrelevant questions.
And I had some kids who were smarter than Caulfield.
Did I somehow miss National Alliteration Day?
Frazz and Unnamed Girl at Bryson Elementary School

Water
Not really synchronicity, given the date — though I’m not sure I’d previously seen a comic focusing on segregated water fountains, and two of them appearing back-to-back in my feed was kind of weird.
Weirder was remembering last night (as presumably it did to Jimmy Johnson a few weeks ago) that separate water fountains still existed in my lifetime.
Follow-up the-kid’s-hat CIDU
What Frazz says in the final panel seems obvious. What the kid’s saying does not.
“just come close”?
