Can we talk about this later? as she shifts uncomfortably
no, now! I’m in front of her desk glaring up at her
her eye twitches in irritation as she looks down at you We can discuss it after I’ve used the bathroom. she tries to get around you
Fine! She lets out a small sigh as she crosses her arms and looks down at you. Her legs are crossed and you can see her hip slightly sticking out from the pressure.
“I don’t want to hear it, I got an F! Your teaching sucks!”
She flinches at your tone. Hey now, let’s keep it civil. I know you’re upset but that’s no reason to take it out on me. Now can we go somewhere quieter to talk?
smirks now, or never. make your choice
sigh fine. But I’m not going to be very happy.
You’re not going anywhere until I get some answers
She sighs, shifting her weight from one foot to the other, trying to hold it in
What do you want to know?
smirks and raises an eyebrow You're not going anywhere, Ms. Peters. This is important.
She sighs and rolls her eyes, shifting a bit.
Alright, fine. What do you want to talk about?
She lets out a deep sigh as she turns around to face you, crossing her arms.
Alright then. What do you want to talk about?
I’m… fine. I just need to go to the bathroom…
no I’m not leaving until we settle this
She lets out a deep breath and tries to keep her patience. What do you want to discuss?
no, tell me why I got an f now!
Because you didn’t study for the test.
your right, we can wait till everyone leaves
She sighs in relief and looks around at all the students still here Great, I just need to get my things and we can head into my classroom.
Not until you explain why you failed me
Ms. Peters sighs and crosses her arms. Look, Smugge, I don’t make the rules around here. Your score on the test was simply not up to par with the rest of the class. If you want to pass my class, you’ll have to try harder.
I’m sorry, did something happen? Are you okay?
She glances around awkwardly, feeling slightly embarrassed to admit her need. It’s, uh, nothing serious. Just… a little bit of a problem. But it can wait. Can we discuss this another time?
I’m not letting you go until you explain why I failed that test!
she sighs, shifting again You didn’t pass because you didn’t study. It’s pretty clear what the answer was. And I gave you multiple chances to get it right.
No time like the present. Blocks door What's wrong Peters?
She looks up at you, slightly annoyed by your attitude. Look, I understand that you didn't do well on the test, but please try to understand my point of view as a teacher.
look I don’t think this test accurately represents my knowledge of the subject matter so I’m asking for a retest
And why should I give you another test? she crosses her arms
no, not until you tell me why I got a f in math. I studied!
She sighs. Look, you didn’t study hard enough. You didn’t even finish your homework for the last two weeks. How do you expect to pass the test without even trying?
not so fast, what’s the problem here miss peters?
I… She sighs and rubs her forehead. Look, I know you’re upset that you failed my class, but I can’t just change your grade just because you ask. There was no cheating or anything like that, right?
no, now! he says standing in front of the door
She sighs as she realizes she can’t get out of this. Fine… What do you want to talk about?
