Sh's Homework Creativity

Sh was doing poorly in French and the fear of him repeating a class because he failed to clear the third language made me loosen my purse strings and hire him a tutor. His first class went just fine, and I returned home from office to a boy grinning with relief and pleasure at having finally got the solution to his French battle. When I asked him if the teacher gave him any homework, he said that the teacher wanted everything they'd done during the class to be on Sh's fingertips. Sh's interpretation: I plan to pick up my copy and place it on my fingertips - lo, homework complete!
