[She had been relaxing at home, a cup of green tea in one hand and a laptop propped in front of her when the numbers seemed to come full force at her again. It was easy to type them out, a quick string on her screen--and it changed things.

The first few things she sees are just messages. Questions and answers about these numbers from people she's never met. But she presses past it. There's something about a mine and wills and suddenly Leola is not sure what she's stumbled into.

Her typing is hesitant at first.]

Did I stumble into a forum? I suppose I could have picked up the numbers from one of my students and this is an elaborate joke. A marketing campaign for a movie maybe? It's clever though I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get from this. A movie about people trapped in mines or something? Isn't that a little off? Too soon?

And really subliminal messaging was proven to be impossible despite what fiction leads you to believe. So I'm not sure how I came by these numbers. Perhaps you could enlighten me. Or I suppose I could just ignore whatever this is.

Classes are out for the summer, I think I'd rather read than get sucked into some silly forum goose chase.

To hire assassins to weed out the underperforming members of society, I'd imagine.

Obviously. That is the only purpose of money, to weed out the low performers.

I'd hope so! Otherwise you'd be implying that your teaching abilities were so mediocre that you couldn't inspire the majority of your classes without expensive learning crutches, and that would just be tragic.

Or perhaps I'm implying that the public school system is fundamentally flawed and doesn't allow for the one on one time needed to inspire and enlighten those who refuse to treat my classes seriously.

But I'm sure you're right, just mediocre abilites. Not a flawed and underfunded system at all.

As someone who spent the bulk of her academic career learning in a country that actually cared to thoroughly prepare the minds of its next generation, I can only assume that your statements are completely unbiased and correct.

How lucky for you! If it were any less severe then I might have hazarded to say that anyone who finds it easier to blame a broken infrastructure for their inability to shine despite adversity and make a honest attempt to doing their job satisfactorily is a generally weak person. I'm so glad we could avoid that.

You're cute. Though I don't think you should be so quick to try to undermine everyone. Some people might take it a little too personally.

That's hardly my problem, is it? If they're so insecure about themselves that my words cut them deeply then perhaps they shouldn't be traipsing about a public network.

Not exactly public. I suppose they feel there should be slightly more camaraderie for those in this situation.

Another foolish assumption that I shouldn't be held accountable for. Sharing a few uncanny moments doesn't suddenly make someone exempt from having to deal with comments in some fashion approaching mature.

Maturity doesn't seem to be your specialty though. Considering a mature person would be confident enough in their own feelings and abilities to not cut down those around them.

Not that it bothers me honestly? I know I'm not perfect so critique is natural. But teenagers are not known for their stunning self esteem or ability to take things in stride.

Do you often make sweeping assumptions about anonymous people you've just met, or am I just special? You seem to be drawn to cramming as many incorrect generalizations as you possibly can into this single conversation.
