Today was a Terrible Day

Whilst I hope that the classroom practices of an American elementary school... 'My group had to do a workbook page': 'Miss Tyler called the Rockets to the reading circle...Rosemary read the first sentence. And Tom read the next one. They didn't make any mistakes today.'... will not be familiar. I am sure all children will recognise Ronald's day in which disaster follows disaster. Fortunately though, his teacher finally provides the means to boost his flagging ego.
