"𝐍𝐎 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐒?" Quinn asked the class before her, folding her arms over her chest.

This has been an ongoing problem for her first-grade class when it came to the topic of central idea.

"Okay," Quinn sighs to herself, setting down her expo marker and leaning back on the board, facing her very cute but very agitating students.

"If Ms. Brown," Quinn says, gesturing to herself, "tells you everything that happened throughout her day at school. What would the central idea of the story be?"

"Your day at school! Duh." Noemi shouts, rolling her eyes at her classmates. "Ms. Brown read the same story like, five times!" she continued to express her annoyance.

Quincy tried her best to stifle her laughs as her class began to talk amongst themselves as to why they didn't understand the central idea of the short text that she had just read out loud.

"All I knew was the main idea, not the central." She actively listened to the table closest to her desk, trying hard not to barge into their conversation.

"Oh my word! Elias, that's the same thing! You have noodles for brains?!" A feisty Angelica vented, causing Quinn's head to snap up.

"Absolutely not Angelica, there's a nicer way to communicate things. Apologize and be nice." Quinn scolded, leaving them be after she heard the underwhelming apology.

After realizing this lesson was going to go nowhere, looking at the time, she figured it was best to get them ready to go to the lunchroom instead of torturing herself for an extra five minutes.

Quinn knew that this lesson wouldn't have gone well, but the other teachers in her grade insisted that this would be the best way to go with introducing the central idea.

Quinn knew that was bullshit, but she let the old hoes have it, knowing they were going to come crying to her as soon as the dismissal bell rings.

Walking back up to her classroom to begin her own lunch period, she inwardly groans at the stack of papers on her desk that need to be signed off.

Progress report season.

Since Ridgewood Elementary for the Gifted is halfway through its first marking period, progress reports indicating how well a student is doing so far are usually issued, letting parents get a gist of their child's glows and grows.

Quinn was almost done, but as soon as she reached the end of her attendance and landed on Noemi's name, she started to get a headache.

Noemi is one of, or if not, the highest performing student in her class at the moment. She will probably exceed to a third-grade reading level by the time February break rolls around, showing an extensive amount of academic success.
