the new rule in Mrs. Gruman's Algebra 2H class that means you better factor first or you're going to get yelled at like a baby with a broken crayon.

"Factor first or I'll make you do 50 problems!", Mrs. Gruman, after I forgot to factor.

"Why didn't you factor first? You're dumb!", my friend, after I messed up the test.

"Factor first or I'll cry!", me, when I failed the quiz.
