Now , as she was faced with a middle school dropout , her composure was visibly shaken She turned to Noelle , struggling to process the situation .

Noelle , why did you drop out of middle school ! As straightforward as ever , Noelle replied bluntly , Because sitting in a classroom was boring ? I was the kind of response Shiloh had heard countless times from students who despised school still hearing it now made her feel faint .

This wasnt just a mismatch of expectations it was a full blown crisis of professional pride .

Observing qurily , Leis couldnt help the flicker of satisfaction inside .

Once she dismissed a student as hopeless , no amount of persuasion or money could change her mind .

Mom and Dad went to so much trouble to hire Ms.

West , and Noelles going to scare her off in a single day .

Theyll be so disappointed .
