Teacher 1) I hear you got Tommy and Linda in English class. I had them last year. They're some really bright kids.

Teacher 2) Yeah, but I feel horrible. It's damn near Christmas and we still haven't finished basic sentence structure because Kyle still doesn't understand subject-verb agreement and he asks me 2 dozen questions per class that I've already answered.

Teacher 1) That's always so unfortunate, when the brightest in the bunch are put in the same classes as the Slowest Common Denominator.

Teacher 2) Yeah. I wish there was room in the budget to have more advanced classes.
