Odyssey 6B

I've got this other class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. In the afternoons. They're a problem too. But in the opposite way as the Tuesday Thursday class. They caught me by surprise. They all seemed to be good kids. No problems the first few classes. Minor interruptions. But nothing big. No big trouble maker. No one like Tony. No one to single out.

But I've lately realized that this class operates as a whole organism. Individually they are benign, obedient. But without proper treatment they grow into a cancer. And the cancer grows and grows.

I've begun severe treatment. No talking. No questions. No interruptions.

Everyone seems to have trouble getting the kids to speak up except me. I can't get them to shut up, often as not.
