This was the 3rd week in a row Mr. Jones had met with Jessica after class for office hours. Some of the other students had to meet him as well. But most would figure out his system after the first or second time. Jessica was back again though.
Mr. Jones knew he would have to try a little harder this time if he wanted her to get it. He wanted to keep her from coming back again. Office hours were not something he enjoyed giving. After class was his time to relax, grade papers, and prepare for the next day.
After all the other students left, it was just Mr. Jones and Jessica remaining in the class. This time he scheduled it right after class since she was the only one that wanted to meet. She was in the back of the room where she normally sits, on her phone already.
“Please put your phone away and come up and sit at this desk here where I can help you more closely,” Mr. Jones said as he pointed at the desk facing his in the front of the class.
