A Student Who Read Ahead Got A Phone Call Home
I got "sent to the office" because I read the first 8 chapters of the book "Holes" instead of just the first 3 over the weekend and my parent got a phone call home about doing my homework properly. I have had a problem with academic authority figures ever since xD https://t.co/yHzClmwtmR
