...Ethics. This place wants me. To teach Ethics.

[He laughs to himself. A cruel, ironic, cold laugh. A sad, pathetic

Ethics? What's so bad about that? [Even if it sounds like the worst subject in the world.]

[puzzlerprince]

Frankly, I have better things to do than listen to a bunch of brats blather on about ethics in a place as unethical as Mayfield.

[gotmorbucks]

What do you care? You don't even have to listen! Just give them all Fs.

[puzzlerprince]

True, true. I could do that. But would that be the ethical thing to do?

[gotmorbucks]

I don't know. Do you think they'd care?

[puzzlerprince]

I'd be surprised, frankly, if the kids here actually cared about getting good grades as opposed to using their heads to find a way out. Seems like a waste of potential.
