Sometimes, Steve Burton would inevitably make some mistakes.
These mistakes could be something like writing a wrong character, or inadvertently writing a wrong English letter while writing in English.
The teacher always had sharp eyes and could accurately pick out such inconspicuous errors from the many homework assignments, marking them with a red pen.
Whenever that happened, Ruby Gregory would point to the red marks on her homework and complain to Steve with a disgruntled face: "Steve, how on earth do you do your homework? You're in sixth grade, sixth grade, and you still make such stupid mistakes!"
"Steve, do you know that because you wrote one wrong English letter, the teacher made me copy this word thirty times!"
It was clear that Ruby wouldn't be the one writing those thirty copies, but she acted as if she were the one doing it, stomping her feet and clenching her teeth while repeating: "Thirty times! Thirty times!"
