Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

This blog post was about school and how he cares so much about all of his students.  How they are stressing him out, not because they have a bad grade, but because they quit.  He talks about how you will face much harder things in life than school, and that school prepares you for those hardships in life.  That when you quit in school, you are only setting yourself up to fail. The teacher basically said that as long as you're in my life, I will never give up on you, I will make it difficult for you to quit.  That you can do whatever you want, but when you come back tomorrow, he is going to give you a fresh start because you are worth it. He also basically gave them two options, no in between.  If you want to succeed, man/women up now so that you can deal with the hardships in your life. Or, you could step down and let yourself fail and die alone, depressed, and broke.  He acts like he is giving you two options, but he is really saying that you need to step up, no more excuses, and pick up that pencil because we are going to do this, together.
