Teacher: Books away, kids. We're going to have a pop quiz ... Danae: Um ... are you sure you're up to taking that risk? Teacher: What risk, Danae? Danae: Well ... if we don't do well, it could be seen as an indicator of bad teaching by your superiors ... but, hey ... it's our career. No guts, no glory, I always say. Teacher: Perhaps we should take a moment to talk about perosnal responsibility. Danae: My point exactly!
