Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1457

Megan picked up the folder and gave it a quick once-over. Her eyes skimmed over the name, gender, and photo, and she seemed fairly composed at first. But then she hit the part where it said Tyler had dropped out in 8th grade and hadn't been back to school since, and her expression shifted dramatically.

She looked at Mr. Garcia, completely flabbergasted. "Mr. Garcia, are you seriously suggesting this student should be in my class?"

"Yes," Mr. Garcia nodded, reading her mind. "Tyler had to leave school due to some tough situations. Now that he's joining your class, I trust you'll be able to help him catch up."

Megan was practically reeling, "Mr. Garcia, he's been out of school since 8th grade, and now he's jumping into my 11th-grade class? That's a three-year gap! How's he supposed to keep up? He won't understand a thing I teach. How can I possibly guide him?"

Tyler stood quietly on the side, his head slightly bowed. "Even though I haven't been in school these past three years, I've been studying on my own. I—"

He was about to assure her that he could manage and wouldn't hold back the class, but Megan cut him off sharply, "You what? You think three years of self-study means you can keep up with my class? If you were really up to it, why did you drop out in 8th grade?"

Megan was fuming, and it showed in her voice. With the year-end assessments around the corner, her class wasn't exactly top-tier, and they weren't raking in any big bonuses either. Adding Tyler into the mix felt like a disaster waiting to happen!

"Ms. Lee!" Mr. Garcia scolded, his tone disapproving.

"Mr. Keaton, it's easy for you to say when it's not your responsibility. You can sit back and throw around comments." Megan sneered, "Why don't you take him then? You love taking on these struggling students, right? One more won't hurt."

Keaton didn't take kindly to that. His face darkened. "If that's what it takes, I will. Ms. Lee, I have to point out that some students might not excel academically, but they shine in other areas. We shouldn't judge them solely by their grades or label them as failures. 'Teaching according to their abilities' and 'educating without discrimination' are fundamental principles in our teaching guides."

Megan shrugged off his words, her focus still on Mr. Garcia, waiting for a resolution.
