(Scene opens in a classroom. Sarah is sitting at her desk, looking bored and disinterested. Mr. Johnson is at the front of the room, writing on the board. The bell rings and the students start to come into the room.)

Mr. Johnson: Good morning, class. Please take your seats and we'll begin.

(Sarah slumps in her seat and pulls out her phone.)

Mr. Johnson: (noticing Sarah) Sarah, please put away your phone. We have a lot to cover today.

Sarah: (sighing) Fine.

(Mr. Johnson starts to teach the lesson, but Sarah is clearly not paying attention. She starts to text on her phone under her desk.)

Mr. Johnson: (noticing Sarah again) Sarah, please put your phone away. You're not going to learn anything if you're not paying attention.

Sarah: (rolling her eyes) I know, I know.

(The lesson continues, but Sarah is still not paying attention. The bell rings and the students start to leave.)

Mr. Johnson: (stopping Sarah as she starts to leave) Sarah, can I talk to you for a moment?

Sarah: (sighing) Sure, what's up?

Mr. Johnson: I noticed that you weren't paying attention during the lesson today. Is everything okay?

Sarah: (shrugging) I don't know, I just don't see the point of all this math.

Mr. Johnson: The point of math is to help you understand the world around you and to help you problem solve. It's a valuable skill to have in life.

Sarah: (skeptically) I guess so.

Mr. Johnson: I'd like to help you understand the material better. How about we work together after school?

Sarah: (hesitantly) Sure, I guess.

Act 2:

(Scene opens in Sarah's living room. Sarah is sitting at the kitchen table, working on math problems with Mr. Johnson. Karen, Sarah's mother, walks in.)

Karen: Hi, sweetie. How was school?

Sarah: (smiling) It was good. Mr. Johnson is helping me with math.

Karen: (surprised) Really? I didn't know you were struggling with math.

Sarah: (shrugging) I wasn't, but I didn't see the point of it. But now I understand how important it is.

Karen: (smiling) I'm glad to hear that. Education is so important. It opens so many doors for you.

Sarah: (nodding) Yeah, I know. I'm really grateful for Mr. Johnson's help.

(The scene ends with Sarah and Mr. Johnson continuing to work on math problems together.)
