Parental Control (Part 1)
"Margret, we need to figure out a way to bring All-Time High back to a sense of normalcy. It's not good for anyone," urged Kelly's dad.
"Montana, dear, we can't just force our way to change the school's behavior. We don't have the skills and besides, the school is bent on behaving differently," protested Kelly's mom.
"Well I'll find a way to convince them, if it's the last thing I do. That school will not corrupt our daughter into some ball of gelatin," announced Montana.
"Just be careful, dear. This is also the only school we know of in the area. If this works and Kelly is out of a school, where will she go?" warned Margret.
"Talking about de-corrupting the school? Count me in. I hate it as much as you do, dad. I don't like anything they're teaching there. I hated it from the name on the building to their dumb 'dress code', or lack thereof," agreed Kelly.
"Shouldn't you be in school?" questioned Margret.
"Not going. I want to help dad out with his plan," admitted Kelly.
"Your teacher will probably find out you're not here won't she?" asked Margret.
"Don't care about that. Dad will help me out," assured Kelly.
"You need the education, dear. Besides, where would you go if we managed to shut down the school?" continued Margret.
"Anywhere else, mother. Literally any other school would be better than this one," remarked Kelly firmly.
"That's two-to-one in favor of shutting down the school, Margret. Guess we'll figure this one out together," concluded Montana.
"Good luck, dear, though I wouldn't get your hopes up," called Margret. [Later that day...]
"Here's what I'm thinking, Kelly. We'll let the police know about this one. It's a tall order considering the nature of the police here, but if we can get them to believe how bad the school is, they can have it shut down for good," explained Montana.
"Not even my sister can stop this one," smirked Kelly.
