Their test scores began to rise. In the evening the students were required to study. No television was allowed during study hours, and bedtime was mandatory at ten P.M., which none of them liked very much."This feels like boot camp,” Sampson whispered to Rameck one night after lights out."Yeah, but it feels good, man. It’s like doing push-ups with my brain!”
