and spit that gum into a trash bin, Jason (as well as give the teacher the entire packet)

I want to see him do DNA.

The word diagram is a noun, the teacher should be asking Jason to draw a diagram.

I hope he has enough for everyone.

I once was judging for a special award at a regional science fair where one junior high student had carefully assembed by hand a molecular model of ice. The first judge had given this student a rating of “Superior”, so the student was eligible to continue on to State Science Day. And sure enough, for every hydrogen atom in this model, there were two oxygen atoms! :facepalm: All I could do was gently point out to the student that a correction was needed before presenting at State!

Extra points for creativity?

Actually, that took talent on Jason’s part.

Shape is wrong

I would have complimented Jason on his ingenuity and accuracy… and then confiscated the gum

I remember having to stick my gum on the end of my nose until recess… ☺

He should have received extra credit!

Really no room for creativity in our public schools, is there?

This is why Jason’s my favorite FT character: He has actual skills. The kind I can be proud of, as opposed to Peter’s appetite.
