Mrs. Johnson asked the class to write a composition about what they would do if they had a million dollars. Everyone except Fannie began to write. Fannie twiddled her thumbs and looked out the window. When Mrs. Johnson collected the papers, Fannie’s sheet was blank. “Fannie,” said Mrs. Johnson, “everyone has written two pages or more, but you’ve done nothing. Why is that?” |
TEACHER : Fred, your ideas are like diamonds. |
TEACHER: Fred, the story you handed in called “Our Dog,” is exactly like your brother’s. |
TEACHER: Your poem is the worst in the class. It’s not only ungrammatical, it’s rude and in bad taste. I’m going to send your father a note about it. |
