Arthur and them and the new school
The second round will be in two days. At school they will soon have a pop quiz. They know they happen but they don't like it but they will get good grades on them. Their current teacher doesn't give as much of them as Mr. Ratburn gave them last school year. They are doing that pop quiz now. They are lucky they get good grades so can still play sports. They got done with that pop quiz. Now the teacher is grading them. They have a big test coming up. So they must study hard for it.
"So yes study hard for that test," said the teacher, "Brain make sure they do in the study club."
"I will make sure they do," said Brain, "Arthur and me can help them study hard for it."
"That is correct," said Arthur, "So will me and you to study in fact."
"That is right," said Brain, "We will all study for it in the study club."
"You can also study at home as well," said the teacher, "And the library as well for it is a hard test."
They know it will be hard and must pass it for the ones that fail it will be transfred to green meadows which is a special education school. So they will study extra hard. It is a hard math and science test in fact. That test is very important. Arthur went home after they studied a bit and told his parents about that upcoming test. That it is for both math and science. That it will be a hard test but important. That ones that fail that test will be transfered to green meadows for until middle school.
"So yes ones that fails goes to that school," said Arthur, "I will be very busy studying for that test to pass it."
"You better pass it," said Mrs. Read, "Or i will spank and ground you."
"Spanking isn't good mom," said Arthur, "I think grounding is enough after all."
"I made up my mind," said Mrs. Read, "It will only be with a hand not a belt or paddle."
"I must pass then," said Arthur, "I never been spanked and i don't want spanked."
Mr. Read is now talking to Mrs. Read that spanking isn't the answer for just failing a test. He knows Arthur will pass that hard test because he studies hard and he is smart. So he is trying to get her not to spank the children. She did spank D.W. once or twice. He doesn't want her to spank Arthur at all. Because he is a good kid after all. Spanking will do more harm to him than good. He will never be spanked. See what happens in the next chapter of this story.
