"Gah! I take it back! You're the worst! The worst!"

"Nope! No take-backs! I'm the best!"

When he finally lets go to sit back against the wall, he's still grinning a little.

"...so. If you could change one thing about school...."

He ponders this.

"...I'm not gonna remember once you change it, right?"

"I can tell you about it. But yeah."

"...can't move us out of Texas, right?"

He plays with his earrings a little more.

"...I mean. The handbook does have the address in it."

"...would that move us, too, or..."

"I have no idea!"

"The real problem is people being assholes, anyway. Which is kind of a constant."

"I mean, I can try adding 'rule zero: don't be an asshole' to the handbook."

He snorts.

"...it'd be cool to have less homework to forget," he ventures.

"Yeah, you know what, that's a great idea."

Homework (All Grade Levels)

Homework is an integral part of any successful our educational system, and students will need are encouraged to complete all most assigned work.

Homework is a strategy that is designed to reinforce what your child has learned and provide the opportunity to practice what your child has learned in the classroom.

We feel strongly that it is the responsibility of all parties involved including teachers, students, and especially parents to encourage daily completing assign no more than one hour a day of homework assignments across all classes.

In the event a student fails to complete assignments for some reason, he or she may be subject to disciplinary action given a cookie.

"...uh – I feel like I just came up with something but then I lost it."

"...yep. That's because I just changed it."

He shows the book to Z.

"...which part?"

"The homework policy. Basically the -- entire thing. You wanted less."

"...yeah, that sounds like me – how much did we have before?"

"Like ... three hours a night, maybe? And then half the time you forget to turn it in on time so you get a C on an A homework."

"—three hours? For real?"

"Honestly I can't believe that worked -- did the cookie thing go through--"

"...I mean...it's not in the rules. But, uh, Mr. Teegarden had me stay back during lunch once, to, like — check up, when I kept forgetting stuff — and he gave me this shortbread thing..."

"Lucky," Camillo sighs.

"You have such a fucking crush."

"I admire him! As a teacher!"
