Human nature. This is the reason successful people are eventually separated from the unsuccessful ones. And then the "un"successful people complain that “she” got a better job, grade, position, etc. than I did – “It’s not fair!”
No teacher (in my experience) would ever do this. I was a huge procrastinator in school, but I would stay up half the night before something was due to make sure it was finished on time. I would not be happy if I made sure my work was done only to see others be given an extra day.
I relate to this. Sometimes in HS it was just so difficult to focus on schoolwork. It wasn’t until college that I started getting straight A’s most semesters—but then I didn’t have to survive the dysfunctional family storms I had to survive in High School. I did so much better away from my family. I even discovered that I was not stupid (or ugly, or fat) after all.
She needs to get cracking on those books or she’s gonna get a cracking for flunking that coarse by Grandma who will get on Mommy too! But Grandpa was most effective. He’d give us a dollar for every A we got on our report card. “Think Think Think” (Alcohol Anonymous).

Wow, little Liz is learning from her older wiser brother. Never worry today about something that only matters tomorrow.

Poor Michael being blamed by posters for everything, as if Liz can’t be a slacker all on her on.

The question should have been, “Let me see your homework.”

Shouldn’t this have been Michael instead of Liz?

Too bad the assignment wasn’t “Have a snowball fight with your brother.”
