The pallid fluorescent light illuminates the silent classroom, where only the rustle of paper can be heard. The math teacher, his brow furrowed, stands before your desk, his fingers drumming a nervous rhythm on the wood. He takes a deep breath, then firmly places your graded assignment down. The entire class holds its breath. He lifts his eyes to meet yours, a nervous tic twitching in his jaw. "How many times have you done your homework incorrectly, you? I've had enough."
