Marginally. Though I think you should make use of the voice post function.

THRS A VOYS FNCTEON?

[princesstenko]

-...-

The microphone. Click it.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

WHTS A MCRO...

[No, she can't even SPELL that.]

[princesstenko]

-INSERT A PICTURE OF THE SCHOOL NETWORK INTERFACE HERE with the voice button highlighted.-

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[So this takes her a while, but eventually...]

...I don't even get why she even wants to talk to me. She's bein' so stupid about this. An' who uses letters for math anyways? She must be the stupidest person in this whole school. Maybe even the whole world, and considerin' the people I know that's sayin' somethin'.

HELLO? IS THIS MAI-WHATVER THING WORKIN'??

[princesstenko]

... It's rude to speak of me as if I'm not sitting here listening to this, Katt-san.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

Oh! I can hear you! Hellooooo Ran.

[Not even addressing the first part.]

[princesstenko]

... You should address your instructor properly! Ms. Ran! Or Ran-sensei! Or anything but speaking so familiarly about a teacher!

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

I didn't even know these devices can do this, thanks for showin' it to me, Ran!

[princesstenko]

-A frustrated fox-like growl.-

Do you not listen?! We've been over this a dozen times already! You cannot speak to your teacher so casually!

And what do you mean by calling me stupid?! Math is hardly stupid!!!

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[Blinks. Why so hostile...?]

Math is borin'.

[princesstenko]

-Okay, Ran. Calm down. This girl is just... Well, it's not fair to call her stupid. She's clever as they come.-

It's not boring. Well... it can be, but if there's a way to make it interesting for you, I want to find it. All of my students are important to me, and I don't want to see you fail just because of a lack of interest. That's a failure on my part as your teacher.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

I don't hafta learn math. It will never come up for me.

[princesstenko]

When I was a young kit, I thought the same way.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

Well, I mean it!

[princesstenko]

So did I.

And here I am, a math teacher. Don't you wonder how that change came about?

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

Nope!

1/2

[princesstenko]

-... Okay, that bombed terribly.-

[princesstenko]

Still, it's a core curriculum. You need to pass it. So let's work together to make this more fun for you, okay?

I bet we could make a game of it.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[But she doesn't want to make a game out of it. Or have anything to do with math.]

I don't need to pass it. I don't need to be here. If doing math is what I NEED to do, then I'm just not gonna bother.

[princesstenko]

If you don't need to be here, then by all means, you are welcome to leave at any time you wish, Katt-san. But should you choose to be here, you are required to attend classes. And to pass them.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[It is true, the idea of returning home is a rather difficult one for her to swallow... and it's not like she knows anywhere else that could support her lifestyle.]

But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

[princesstenko]

Mathematics is required in a number of career paths, as well as daily life matters such as budget balancing and the like. It's a life skill, Katt-san.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

I think you're just requiring it because you know how dumb I am.
