Teaching Mrs. Tingle Page #2

When you shoot, make it count.

It wasn't I mean, I didn't think that

No, because that world require a

cerebrum and a few other missing parts.

What you did was bring a weapon to school.

What you did is punishable

in a Court of law.

Now, sit down before I have you arrested.

Mr. Churner, dare I even ask?

Plymouth Rock.

Your work, Mr. Churner, is

very reminiscent of a young Man...

who sat in that same chair some 20 years ago.

He too had the words no future

printed on his forehead.

Give your father my best.

Miss Watson? Dazzle us, will you?

Well, I've created a 1 7th century journal.

One year in the life

Of an accused Salem witch.

Documenting actual events,

it contains 365 entries,

all written with quill and ink,

bound by leather and twine

and aged for authenticity.

it chronicles a young girl's

false imprisonment and unfair trial.

it took about six months

October 1 0, 1 692.

Another girl was burned at the stake today.

I fear William Griggs will point to me next.

I fear my future will be

nothing more than smoldering ashes.

if this be true, I pray the wind...

will carry my ashes far from Gallows Hull...

to a place that allows me to sing and dance...

in the open air.

Oh, how very moving.

I tried not to get too carried away with the prose.

it's completely factual.

She was ultimately burned at the stake.

It's documented.

Always a victim,

aren't we, Miss Watson?

Well, there are similarities between

society today and 1 7th century Salem.

I guess that would be the irony of it all.

I'm well aware of what Irony is, Miss Watson.

You, however, should consult your dictionary.

Of course, I wasn't suggesting that it was

irony is the opposite of what is

or might be expected.

For example, if Miss Watson...

was expecting an A on her history project,

she might find the actual

result to be... rather ironic.

I pray your Salem witch...

escaped such literary infractions.

Please, sit down.

Miss Tucker?

You're number two. By one point.

Pity.

I know how much you were counting

on being valedictorian.

I'm really sorry, Leigh Ann.

And I take it you're number one?

Only by a smidge.

But who knows? Maybe you'll get an

A on that history project...

and just turn everything around.

Congratulations, Trudie.

Do you mean that? Thank you.

That is so sweet.

That's what's always impressed me

most you are so sweet.

And real.

I know things haven't been easy for

you and I love the way...

you're always able to rise above.

Thank you. It's so very evolved of you.

Sorry about that scholarship.

I hope you weren't counting on it. Oh, well.

Have a nice day.

I heard that. You can still get that scholarship.
