L'élève Ducobu Tome 5 : Zéro de conduite

Résumé : What would a class be without a dunce ? A bit like a curry without spice. And And Ducoboo sure spices up his fellow pupil's days. Not one lesson goes by without flavour-with him, school is an endless string of break-times. Of course, there's always Leonie, the terribly gifted girl who doesn't put up with Ducoboo's messing end doesn't believe in sharing knowledge. Of course, there 's also the teacher, whose index finger turns out to be more threatening than ever...No, school lifz isn't one long, smooth ride : for some, the school year is perhaps the most dangerous time of all !

Résumé : It's not by counting the, flies on the ceiling that one becomes a star in maths... And one must be really resourceful to avoid the beckoning finger of the teacher and the humiliation of the dunce cap ! And Leonie, who still detests copiers... So, Ducoboo invents the answers that he can't steal from his neighbour. He has cause to regret doing so because, although very fertile, his imagination plays tricks on him and he often ends up "In the Corner"!

Résumé : The pupil Ducoboo is really the king of the dunces: In addition to accumulating "0 out of 10" points, he also claims for his school friends and himself the right to do nothing and to sleep at the back of the class. In his yellow-and-black striped clothes, Ducoboo is a bit of a "school outlaw" but above all he is a nightmare for his teacher, Mr. Latouche!

En bon cancre, Ducobu n'en aime pas moins la langue française et ses figures de style quand elles lui permettent de parvenir à ses fins. Pour rendre chèvre l'instit Latouche, il n'hésite pas à faire montre d'un sens de la dialectique propre à en décourager plus d'un. Et quand il est question de changer la sacrosainte dictée de " La cueillette aux champignons " pour la remplacer par une pièce inédite rédigée par Léonie Gratin, il se montre le plus fervent défenseur des allitérations. Ducobu, un tricheur ? Ne serait-ce pas un pléonasme ?
