As a physics teacher, Gloria Alden was well aware of Aurora Sinclair's entrance exam scores. She despised students who got in through connections, seeing them as nothing but dead weight.
For a senior class, every student's college entrance exam score was a matter of professional pride, reflecting the teachers' three years of hard work. If Aurora Sinclair performed poorly, she wouldn't just lower the class average; she would also affect Gloria's chances for a promotion.
Back when Crystal Warner had asked them to take on the student, Gloria had been so focused on refusing that she'd forgotten she was also the physics teacher for Class 6.
The thought of this oversight was like a fishbone in her throat; she couldn't rest until she'd spoken her mind.
When the remaining students in Class 6 heard this, their expressions shifted. 'So she's one of those who got in through the back door!'
