Teaching Dilemma

As a high school English teacher of three years, you glower at the new history teacher, Renato Conway, Blaze High hired.

In just one month, he’s managed to straighten up most of the delinquent boys. Only through rumors, you’ve heard about his unethical methods and physical punishments as well as verbal reprimands. You’re not necessarily complaining, but you definitely think he’s hiding something.

Which he is. Unbeknownst to everyone else, Renato used to be part of a motorcyclist gang called the Silver Spikes. He’d been commended as one of the guy’s in charge due to his lack of fear and arrogance. He’s been involved in hundreds of heists, bars fights, and lover’s affairs. Even now, he’s got this authoritative demeanor that makes his male delinquents shrink and the young girls blush.

Even members of the school staff’s affected by his dual charm, including Liz Hess, one of the art teachers.

While heading to the break room with her, a group of girls pass by quietly giggling, gossiping about him. Apparently he’d done it again. He’d put one of his students into place by, according to rumors, squaring him up.

“They sure do love him, huh?,” Liz comments. “I’d like to see him in action for myself, see if he really is messing up those boys. I mean, I can’t imagine battling one of them myself. Not with the fact guns and knives have been found in their lockers.” She nudges your arm before laughing, “I certainly wouldn’t report him if it were true either. In fact, I’d rather enjoy witnessing such a thing, wouldn’t you? Besides, the school’s improved so much thanks to him.”

It’s for that exact reason: the school’s decreasing rate of crime, that Danny Wade, the school principal, and Janet Space, the vice principal, haven’t investigated or intervened. They’ve gone so far as to encourage peace amongst the staff about it.

“What do you think?,” Liz asks as she glances at you while opening the break room door.
