Forever,”thought Alex.Alex had been sent to Smart Start for math,because his parents were concerned about the Statewide Math Examination that was coming up.Mathematics had always been torture for Alex,and to complicate matters,his little sister was taking the same math subject as he,despite being almost two years younger.Alex took out his tutoring form and began to fiddle with it nervously.He
