Checks and Balances
"Good morning, students. I can see much improvement over the weekend. You?ve all really fattened up.....except for Kelly. What?s the excuse, Kelly? You also weren?t in detention last week," noted Mrs. Weighsaton.
"I was pretty stubborn to get it done, Mrs. Weighsaton. It?s still a work in progress. I?ve put on a little, but not nearly enough. I?ll try harder during lunch," explained Kelly.
"What?s up with Kelly? She seems....nicer," remarked Marcus.
"Probably because I helped her out. My plan seems to have had an effect on her," replied Kyle quietly.
"I?d expect you to report to me after school for 6 hours to make up for last time," ordered Mrs. Weighsaton.
"Excuse me, but we?d like a word with the Superintendent," stated Kelly?s mom.
"Anything you can talk to the Superintendent about can go to me too," assured Mrs. Weighsaton.
"Just what kind of school are you running here? This is the worst curriculum I?ve ever seen. Crop tops and shorts? No public decency? This is not the behavior students should be adhering to," protested Kelly?s mom.
"Superintendent Kevin has made his decision. If he wants to run it this way, then so be it. All I do is enforce that rule throughout the school. Furthermore, your students are required to come here at least until the end of the school year, or did you not read the fine print when you signed the document?" added Mrs. Weighsaton.
"We?ll see about that," snapped Kelly?s father before the two headed out.
"This doesn?t sound good. Sounds like Kelly?s parents are trying to shut the school down or something," whispered Samantha.
"They don?t have the power. Wait and see," corrected Sarah.
"I just want this stupid issue to be over," thought Kelly.
"With that escapade out of the way, I?d like to note your first homework assignment is due tomorrow. Write a paper about your weight goals and whether or not you?d want someone to help achieve that goal. 1 page long and single spaced," explained Mrs. Weighsaton.
"I can hardly weight," muttered Kelly.
