The air in Ms. Davies' classroom hung heavy with the scent of disinfectant and the ghosts of past failures. She was already struggling to find inspiration for her lesson, her mind clouded by the endless administrative tasks. The headteacher strolled in, with a smug look on his face. “Delivery for you, Ms. Davies!”

It was a framed photograph. An extremely large photograph. A photo of herself with a group of smiling students. All the students were clearly photoshopped, and the overall effect was garish and over-the-top. The card read *Thanks for everything, Ms. Davies! From your students!* He wanted to smash the frame. The smug expression on the headteacher's face made it worse.
