=//Why You Should Do Your Homework//= The adventures of Joe McBeeb

//**Mr White: the evil teacher, hates Joe, advocate of grammar**//
 * //Joe: Slacker, in the cool crowd//**

//At the curtain, Mr. White is collecting the previous nights grammar worksheets.//

Mr. White: Good job Jill, excellent work Jimmy, very professional Bob... Joe, (sighs) where is your home work this time? Did your dog eat it?

Joe: Nah, I just didn't wanna do the thing.

Mr.White: Well, congratulations you have reached a record high for most consecutive days without turning in your homework, a baffling 79 days. this brings your yearly average down from a D- to a well deserved F. It would do you good to pay attention in class today or there will be trouble.

Joe: Whatever... (looks like he does not care)

//Mr. White gives a mean look at Joe and walks back to the front of the class to begin today's lesson.//

Mr.White: OK class, today we will be learning about adjectives and adverbs. Joe, would you mind telling the class what an adjective is?

//Joe is asleep on his desk//

Joe: (looks of from desk tired and without a clue) what... um... 27... what... square root of pie... ugh... goodnight daddy. (Joe lies down again)

Mr.White: Joe i told you if you didn't pay attention today there would be trouble!

//Joe pops up immediately from his desk//

Joe: I'm sorry, it wont happen again.

Mr.White: No Joe, this is my final straw, out into the hall now.

//Mr.White escorts Joe to the hall with force//

Mr.White: Joe you are by far the worst student I have ever had. You don't pay attention, you are a distraction, and you never turn in your homework.

Joe: What's it to ya?

Mr.White: Joe I am sick and tired of you and your habits.

Joe: Whatever...

Mr.White: That is it young boy you are EXPELLED! (laughs evilly)

Joe: You can't expel me for not doing my homework.

Mr.White: Well then, you are... SUSPENDED! (laughs evilly)

Joe: Well you cant do that either, I have not damaged anything or physically hurt somebody.

Mr.White: Well here is something I can do, YOU HAVE DETENTION FOR A MONTH! every day after school in my room for 3 hours. (laughs evilly) (simultaneous with Joe's scream)

Joe: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Well, what if I write a thirty-five page report on classroom behavior and why grammar is important? Can that replace my detention?

Mr White: It just might, it just might.

//Joe and Mr. White return to the classroom.//

//**Next day**//

Joe: (with paper in hand) Here it is Mr White.

Mr White: Why thank you, you may now return after school for two hours and fifty-nine minutes for a month. Muahahahahaha-

Joe: But I wrote a thirty-five page paper!

Mr White: I said it might, and it turns out it does. You should be glad that I am subtracting a minute from detention.

Joe: You should have rewarded me for my efforts. Now you will pay, you will pay! (raises arm as he talks)

//Joe stomps off to the back of the room//
