Patriotism Yay!: Period 2, Week 1

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve was waiting for his new students in a small clearing this morning. "Good morning!" he said cheerfully. "I'm Steve Rogers, and I'll be your instructor, which you probably knew already. And in this workshop, we will be discussing patriotism and what it means to be a patriot. We'll start off with introductions. Everybody tell me your name, where you're from, and something interesting about you. Then, since I'm going to have a lot of chances to tell you what I think, today I'd like to hear what you think. Tell me what you think patriotism is, and why it's important. We'll start with you," he decreed, picking someone at random.

Lana stopped by to talk to the professor. "Hi, I just wanted to let you know that Jim Ellison's dad pulled him out of school for the week, which is why he's not here today. He should be here next week."

He'd better be back next week!

"Pulled him out of school?" Steve asked, alarmed. "Is everything all right?"

Lana nodded a bit glumly. "I think everything's fine. His father just does this periodically to check on Jim, make sure he still jumps whenever his father calls."

"Well, that's..." saying a lot of not-good stuff about Jim's dad's parenting skills? "unfortunate. Tell Mr. Ellison I'll look forward to having him in my class when he returns."

Lana smiled at him brightly. "I will. Thank you."
