“Here”
“I’ve learned to say here when the teacher hesitates while taking attendance.” – I wonder how many times this happened before he finally learned that whenever there’s a sudden pause when the teacher takes attendance, it means his name is coming up, and I wonder for how long he let the teachers struggle with his name before he would finally save them from their misery.
This is probably something that happened on a daily basis, and so it’s no surprise it was a big part of this guy’s high school experience. It’s not necessarily a positive one, and we couldn’t say he learned something valuable, but at least it seems like he takes it lightly and he even makes fun of the situation.
