• Hang on, let me count the desks....... around 30

So why is everyone else here?

• To listen to me argue about my grade.

• Same as me. Either to learn, to pass math, or to make their parents happy.

• To wait for me to come back from the "bathroom"

Mrs. Mincer has a rule not eat in class, why?

• Who knows why the Mrs. Mincer says anything, really?

• Because even though we are in high school we can't eat anything without spilling it all over ourselves. And our neighbor.

• Because instead of thinking about the lesson everyone around us is thinking either, I hope you give me some, or I'm going to make myself some of that too. But with more Butter. Obviously.

Are you allowed to copy other people's classwork?

• Don't worry, I don't actually look at the answers I just upload the whole sheet and put my name on top.

• It's okay, we're all copying off each other. No one is sure who's actually doing the work.

• NO

Complete the sentence: "If I get to class and Mrs. Mincer isn't there.....

• I'm going to find her and detain her so she comes in even later.

• I'm going to assume she isn't coming. It's not like she gets paid to be here or anything.

• I'm going to stay put, because Mrs. Mincer is very rarely sick, unlike some other people in the class who get sick at least once a week between the hours of 7-2

If you're ever absent, you can assume that....

• The rest of us did absolutely nothing important in class while you were gone. We just sat around and mourned your absence.

• We managed to pull ourselves together and move on without you.

• Someone else stepped up and took you place, and hassled me while you were gone.
