TIME FOR ANOTHER EDITION OF FACULTY INTERVIEW! with your host: Chip Chipson! CHIP: Hello, friends! Today I'm chatting with P.S. 38's "Jabba the Hutt" look-alike...Social Studies teacher Mrs. Godfrey!! GODFREY: Can't talk now. I'm busy. CHIP: Ah! I see you're correcting Nate Wright's most recent test! GODFREY: That's right, Chip, and he is failing miserably! CHIP: And yet...you seem happy about that! GODFREY: Of course I'm happy about it! That's what I wanted to happen! CHIP: I...I don't understand. GODFREY: I told Nate to study Chapter Three! Then I tested him on Chapter Twelve! CHIP: But...that's totally unfair! GODFREY: Exactly! That's how he'll learn: by absorbing defeat after devastating defeat! You've got to break kids' spirits while they're young, Chip! Sure, it may seem cruel...but deep down they love you for it. NATE: Oh, how I loathe her. FRANCIS: Just an observation: There were no matadors at the Battle of Bull Run.
