JoJo 20.1; JoJo is Challenged by Mrs. Tense

"40??"
"Mr. Smith, if you want to announce your grade to the class, go right ahead."
"Sorry, Mrs. Tense. I was really hoping for a 60!"
After 23 students finished laughing, Mrs. Tense said, "See me after class, Mr. Smith."
"Yes mam."
In trouble again....

"Students, let us make sure we have the correct answers for the quiz."
The students were anxious to give the correct answers.
"Mr. Jones."
"#1. I have GONE to my grandmother's house."
"Thank you. #2. Ms. Sienfeld."
"The students have BECOME bored in their Science class."
"Good job. 3? Ms. Longmire."
"Johnny has CHOSEN a name for his new puppy."
"Thank you. #4? John Summersett."
"Sally has COME this way only once in her life."
"Well done. #5. Ms. Tennis."
"Bobby has SEEN a Braves' game live only once in his life."
"Any questions? Mr. Smith?"
"Mrs. Tense, I don't think this talk matters. Nobody never got farther in life for knowing how to talk good!"
"Mr. Smith...after class..."

JoJo did not waist "none" of his precious time listening to Old Lady Tense.
Finally, class finished.

"JoJo Smith, you are failing my class."
"Yes mam."
"Do you care?"
Nooooooooo JoJo thought. "Yes mam!"
"Why?"
JoJo was silent.
Mrs. Smith lit in to him!
"Son, whatever you do in life, people will judge you by your speech. This includes a future job, girls, adults, strangers, and everybody else."
"Yes mam."
"Son, you aren't stupid. I see you trying to have this 'bad boy' attitude. Truth is the only thing bad about you is the way you speak."
"I ain't goin to no college."
"You do not know what you are going to do! You punk."
"Mam?" She just called me a PUNK!
"You heard me...PUNK. You act like a punk and talk like a punk."
This threw JoJo WAY off. "What can I do about it?"
"This class needs to become a priority for you. I can help you."
"It's hard!"
"That is because you have been goofing off for a long time. Now, study this chart tonight. You will have an extra quiz after school tomorrow. I want you to pass."
JoJo thought for about 5 seconds. "Yes mam, and...thanks, Mrs. Tense."
"You're welcome, JoJo."
