Smart girl!

"I got her report card. It was all A’s and B’s."

I'd like to hear a little more explanation of how that happened.

"She told me what she’d done," said Curry. "I couldn’t believe it. And this is a kid who basically likes school. What is happening to the kids who hate school?"

This whole story leaves me inclined to give the girl an A, the mother a C, and the school a big fat F. The girl is obviously very bright and not a troublemaker. I expect she could educate herself a lot better than this sorry school could.

I did this for an entire semester in high school:
Showed up for homeroom(attendance)and showed up for the tests. The rest of the time I was gone.

I was a bad boy :^)
