No teacher, no substitute

Why, then, did we all come to class this morning at 9:30? And what kind of teacher doesn't get a substitute to come in when he's in Florida? Dale. He left us a movie to watch in CORE today, and it played while the virtuous read the English subtitles of an entirely Spanish-speaking movie. But secreted in the back row, several students finished their homework for Chemistry. The pockets of rebellion spread as they sent notes across the classroom begging for help from other Chemistry students. After all, Dale never said we had to pay attention, just that we had to be there. And we were.
