Once upon a time in an island kingdom somewhere in the Caribbean Ocean, there was a boy who hated school. He was a great student and studied hard for his grades, but he was bored. He saw how his teachers hated their job. They showed educational videos and handed out vaguely relevant worksheets. His classmates were bored too; so bored that a lot of his friends would skip, or they would misbehave, and often they would get in trouble or even expelled. This boy’s name was Charlie. Charlie was smart and liked to help his friends learn. Sometimes he would make up games to get them to learn. One year, Charlie even organized a spelling bee for his school and got the local ice cream shop to give the winner one free scoop a week. Charlie …show more content…
Charlie had achieved his dream. He started off teaching an English class, and he was exceptionally good at it. There were many students, but there were also enough teachers to make sure that there were about eighteen students in each classroom.

One year he even started a jet ski club, which still exists to this day. Out of all his memories teaching, however, his favorite was at the end of every year. At the end of each year, two to five students would always write him a letter.

Charlie made the students who hated school love it. He was their
