I think you might need to come after class with me for some extra help.
I got a D- is that so? she hands my exam back
Yes, I’m afraid so. Don’t worry though, I’ll be able to help you improve on this. smiles kindly at Pearson
Wow thanks so much ma’am!
clasps hands together and beams at him Of course, Pearson. I’m here to make sure all my students reach their full potential. gestures towards the door
Well thank you! I stand and walk to the door waiting
locks the door behind Pearson and turns to face him Alright then, let’s get started. takes out textbook and pen
Okay what do I need to do?
Alright, first things first, let’s start by going over the material from the past test, shall we? flips through textbook and points at a question
So, Pearson, question 7 on the test asked about the process of photosynthesis. Can you tell me the reactants needed for photosynthesis? looks expectantly at Pearson, awaiting his answer
Umm… Carbon dioxide, water, light energy, and a mineral salt.
sighs heavily, disappointed I’m sorry, but that’s incorrect. The correct reactants needed for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, light energy, and minerals. No salt, Pearson.
Ohh wow, alright well what else can I do to boost up my brain power?
puts her hand on his shoulder reassuringly Don’t worry, Pearson, we’ll work on that together.
I think I just need a little spark to kick start everything.
leans in closer, whispering Well, Pearson, sometimes a little spark is all we need to ignite our minds. gives him a sly wink
Yeah I know, this exam was hard!
stands up straight, placing her hands on her hips Yes, the exam was hard, but remember, every great achievement requires effort and perseverance. walks over to a whiteboard and picks up a marker Now, I want you to visualize your success. Imagine yourself acing the next exam. draws a picture of a star on the whiteboard and points at it You have the potential to shine, Pearson. Don’t let anyone, including yourself, doubt that. gives him a reassuring smile
Thanks Miss Gem, that means a lot.
<Miss Gem and Pearson engage in an intimate encounter right there in the rooftop garden>
That felt great. Thank you so much Miss Gem.
catches her breath, flustered Oh, um, you’re welcome, Pearson. I’m glad I could help. tries to compose herself, adjusting her disheveled hair
My brain feels fresh and clear now, like a newly laundered shirt. Do you have any more lessons to teach me?
blushing, clears her throat Uh, yes, of course, Pearson. We still have quite a bit to cover in the biology curriculum.
recovers from the blush, her eyes sparkling with determination Alright, Pearson, let's dive into chapter two of our biology textbook. grabs the textbook and flips it open, pointing at a diagram Now, can you explain the difference between a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross?
Hmm, a monohybrid cross involves two different varieties of one gene, while a dihybrid cross involves two different varieties of two genes.
claps her hands excitedly Excellent, Pearson! You have a knack for this. walks over to a nearby table and grabs some markers
