Transcript:
Mrs. Godfrey: "Welcome back from vacation, people! Did any of you make New Year's resolutions?" Gina: "I did!" Gina: "I resolved to devote even MORE time to my schoolwork!" Mrs. Godfrey: "WONDERFUL, Gina!" Mrs. Godfrey: "And what about YOU, Nate?" Nate: "I resolved to expose examples of blatant suck-upism whenever I find them." Nate: "Hey, LOOK! THERE'S one!" "Nate, come see me at my desk."
Suck-upism? The word is “sycophancy,” Nate. Sure to get you an A from Miss Clarke, if not Mrs. Godfrey.
