Kevin, I must say I'm impressed with the way that you've changed for the better in your attitude toward your schoolwork lately. All the time you're bent over stacks of paper, scribbling away with your pencil, and I must say I am pleased.
Excuse me, sir?
Hmm? Yes, yes, Kevin?
Could you tell me a nine-letter word that starts with "D" that means "to be kept against one's will"?
Well... wait a minute! You mean to tell me you've been doing crossword puzzles all this time?!!
Yes, sir. I'm sort of addicted to them, sir.
I see. Oh - wait a minute. Maybe I can help you with that nine-letter word - yes, and maybe I can even let you experience it. How about [writing on the blackboard] "D-E-T-I-N-S-H-O-N" - "detention"! And you can start by writing it 5,000 times!
That way or the right way, sir?
