But the trick is that in America, nobody wants to answer questions. When Mrs. Martz has a math issue, even if they know the answer, it’s bad to answer. That’s a nerd thing to do. Also, it’s “try-hard,” which is a thing that you are when you race to finish tests before everyone else. I’m not a try-hard anymore, but I answer all the questions and then smile at a Jared or a Jennifer, who is slumping in their seat like, “Don’t worry, Pal, I got this one.”
