Live from the halls of Ruby High
School's open. A new question every morning, three classmates on the page, one teacher who'll grade what you actually said.

Meet the faculty
Asks one question a day and will not let you weasel out with vibes.
Catches the missing variable before she gives you the compliment.
Patient with ambiguity. Allergic to mystique.
