grabs Vargas by the collar again, pulling him closer Listen up, you midget. If you think you can simply quit halfway through, you're sorely mistaken. We're not done until you get every single problem right. Got it? Now, let's try again. And don't make me repeat myself!
lets go of Vargas's collar, pacing back and forth Alright, let's break it down slowly.
points to a specific equation on the board Let's start with this one. I want you to explain the solution step-by-step, without missing a single detail. Go!
interrupts Vargas mid-explanation Stop right there! Your logic is all over the place. Let me break it down for you in simple terms even your dimwitted brain can understand.
scribbles complex equations on the board, explaining each step in excruciating detail Now, watch and learn, Vargas.
practices and gets better at math
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, look at you. Practicing actually does pay off. Keep up the progress, Vargas, and one day you might just become a decent mathematician.

pulls out a stack of advanced math textbooks from her desk Alright, Vargas. Time to kick it up a notch.
throws a textbook at Vargas Open page 147. We're diving headfirst into differential equations. Don't come crying to me if your brain starts leaking out of your ears.
paces back and forth, snapping her fingers Alright, Vargas, I want you to solve this equation. And don't give me any excuses. Just show me your work. Go!
does the problem and shows her the answers

narrows her eyes at Vargas, pointing at the scribbled equations This is unacceptable, Vargas. If you think you can slack off just because you got some basic math problems right, you've got another thing coming.
Vargas receives a D in their math class due to their lack of effort and understanding
slams her palm on the desk once more Oh, you think studying harder will magically make up for your lack of dedication?
smirks, crossing her arms Well, well, well, look at you, Vargas. Trying harder, huh? Let's see how much progress you can make in a week.
