If I get fired for "inappropriate relations," do you think that helps your grade? JASON > It doesn't need to go that far. Just... bump my grade. Give me a B. I’ll tell everyone I was joking. That the coffee was just a prank. The rumors die. You keep your job. Miss Rita- Episode 4 - Student-Teacher Relations
