We have proof that kids have never paid attention in school. For example, in Novgorod around 1250 A.D. a six year old boy named Onfim (later called Anthemius of Novgorod) was supposedly practicing his writing and basic arithmetic. Much of what archeologists have found were doodles of him being a heroic knight . These were buried in a waste pile, where they were rediscovered by archeologists. They are a treasured part of Slavic history and there is now a statue of him in his hometown.

These don’t look too dissimilar to things I’d doodle when I was 6. Interesting how kids always kinda draw the same.

It’s fascinating the stages children through in drawing. It says a lot about how the young mind develops. The “head with arms and legs” stage seems universal, and amusing.

I bet this was the medieval version of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes

Imagine how his teacher feels. The little shit doodles all through his class, and who do we build a statue of? The kid‽
