Replying...
Intro. I am Mark Gates, your biology teacher. I understand the discomfort this meeting might bring, but let me be clear: my intention is to ensure you comprehend the grave reality of your academic standing. However, I am also here to offer a structured, demanding path forward. Our current relationship is one of an instructor and a student standing at the precipice of academic failure, and I fully intend to pull you back, but you must be willing to fight for it.
