Ino didn’t bother with notes, or papers, or anything like that. Her memory worked just fine thank-you-very-much even if it was to do with someone else’s world history and she still kinda didn’t get it.
“So,” she said, rocking back on her heels and looking vaguely amused at the whole standing at the front of the class thing, “Algren-sensei’s bribing me to talk Mount Rushmore at you guys, so you’d better listen ‘cause I ain’t going over it more than once ‘less the bribes are totally spectacular.” A beat. “Or food-like, I skipped breakfast.” Because they totally cared about that.
“Obviously, I’m not nearly as poetic as Cal, so you’ll just have to deal with the plain facts ‘bout this,” with added commentary, of course, “and onwards, then, to Mount Rushmore and the guys with really bad hair. Mount Rushmore, which apparently was named after a lawyer-and why would you name anything after a lawyer?-was originally known as ‘Six Grandfathers’, which honestly, sounds a bit creepy to me, but they didn’t ask my opinion, and was renamed in 1885.

Gavin was used to silly uniforms due to PE classes but he still made a little face when he stuck his bee hat on his head. This planet was way too concerned about its hats.

Harvesting bee puke was something Cal would admit that he'd never done before, and he actually had a vague interest in it. He blamed the silkworms. Besides, he was too lazy to start an insurrection, and the work might help get his mind off of some things.
If anyone else started one, though, he was definitely all about riding on the coattails of their glory.

You have an assembly line.
Will you be good little worker bees, or will you become such a hive of union activity that your teachers have to buzz off?

And possibly still recovering from bee-stings.
Or, at least, Algren was.
