My teacher, Mrs.Palmquist, makes us do our homework every day.I always do my homework.I don’t want Mrs.Palmquist to be upset with me and I like to get good grades in school.
There is a student in our class who never does his homework.His name is Bobby.He always says that he forgot what to do.None of us understood why he didn’t do his homework.It wasn’t hard and it didn’t take long to complete.
The week before our winter break, Mrs.Palmquist gave us homework passes, so we did not have to do homework one night without any trouble.Some of us were surprised when Mrs.Palmquist gave Bobby a homework pass.Why would she give him one?Bobby didn’t do his homework and he was being rewarded(奖励).That wasn’t fair.
The next day Bobby didn’t come to school.Mrs.Palmquist told us that Bobby had been very sick.He went to the doctors, but it didn’t work.Then he was put in the hospital so that they could help him get better.We were all very sad.
The class decided to help Bobby with his homework problem.During our free time we made Bobby cards.Each card had a special gift inside.Every student gave Bobby his or her homework pass.
Mrs.Palmquist had tears in her eyes when she realized what we had done.She told us that she was very proud of our actions and cancelled homework for one week.
A few months later, Bobby returned to school.He was better.The doctors helped cure Bobby of his illness.Every day after his return, Bobby completed his homework.He didn’t need our gifts after all.Mrs.Palmquist told us that he used our passes every day when he was sick.I learned a lot in Mrs.Palmquist’s class that year.My mom says I learned more than I realized.Adults sure are funny!
