Line 15: ==Summary== In English class, [[Quinn Morgendorffer\|Quinn]] has had a bad grade but she pays no heed until [[Timothy ~~O’Neill~~O'Neill\|O’Neill]] mentions she must have an A the following essay or she’ll fail. [[Helen Morgendorffer\|Helen]] and [[Jake Morgendorffer\|Jake]], warned by the teacher, try to insist her daughter studies harder, but their arguments make no progress and it takes [[Daria Morgendorffer\|Daria]] to convince her when she mentions that Quinn could become the oldest of her class if she fails. However, Quinn tries to avoid working by bribing her sister to do the writing. After some negotiation, Daria accepts, only to refuse a moment later when Quinn unintentionally insults her. She reiterates her refusal hours later when Quinn has to cancel her date to work. Line 31: The next day, everything is back to normal, as Quinn has reverted to her old self and clothes, has stopped pretending to be smart and quickly downplays her essay. A haughty Sandi accepts Quinn’s apology and lets her into the Fashion club again. ==Trivia== * Daria's report for Language Arts is on Death of a Salesman, and titled "''He Had It Coming"''.▼ * Quinn's essay, ''Academic Imprisonment'', is reproduced in ''[[The Daria Database]]''. ===Daria's Reading Material=== * In a scene where Quinn attempts to bribe Daria into writing her essay, Daria is reading Joseph Heller's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22 ''Catch-22.''] ▲* Daria's report for Language Arts is on Death of a Salesman, and titled "He Had It Coming". ==O'Neill's letter to Helen== On the DVD, ~~it was discovered that~~ O'Neill's later about Quinn's grade was ''legible'', reading: Dear Mr Morgendorffer, Mrs Morgendorffer, and/or caretaker,▼ As your daughter Quinn’s Language Arts teacher, it is my sad duty to inform you that Quinn is not working up to her potential and is in danger of failing Language Arts, which I teach. ▼ ▲''Dear Mr Morgendorffer, Mrs Morgendorffer, and/or caretaker,'' Now, I use the term “working up to her potential” deliberately, for it is my belief that all students have the potential to soar like eagles (educationally) when their imagination and interest are engaged, and in fact Quinn’s imagination and interest are engaged, just not by school or anything to do with learning in any shape or form.
