Hooray! Tom came back! And I especially liked how you gave him the stipulation to not doubt himself again and that he didn't have to explain himself to the class.
Great review of the digestive system! I have a friend whose esophagus or perhaps the sphincter stopped working. She's only on a liquid diet. That's scary! We have such a delicate balance to keep every intricate part working.

Thank you so very much, Helene for reviewing and your great comments. Wow, that would indeed be scary, it could be anything, I do so hope she is managing. Hugs!

Another well written chapter to the story. I wonder if it bothered anyone to go eat after that discussion. If so, they were probably going into the wrong field! LOL

LOL, that was my intention. Unfortunately, medical staff tend to rush their meals, say it tastes good but haven't really tasted it. I am glad you are enjoying it.

"When we breathe hopefully through our nose ..." There is definitely case for punctuation here. I have tried to breathe hopefully but to no avail. I can manage breathing both silently and nosily but not hopefully. There is an "aside" here that needs to be separated from the rest of the sentence with commas, dashes or even parentheses.
"when we breathe -- hopefully through our noses -- the air ..." I have also pluralised the communal nose as well.
I like the way you handle the technical stuff simply so that the class understands it so by the way do we the readers. At least I did anyway.

Okay, well noted and I will make those changed when I am finished with this page. I am so glad that my intent is to write so the readers understand is coming across as that. Thank you so much.

This is a wonderful story, and I think this is the first time I read a chapter of it, to my sadness. I like the way you write and I like Mrs Armstrong, your protagonist both as a teacher and as a person. This shows how well you write. I managed to get a good feel for the protagonist all in one and the first read. I even got an inside look at home and how he did regret whatever he had done before to get him out of the class.
Excellent, keep it up.
(Oh, and the curiosity-charged question: How is one able to know that one is 70% this or that group of people?)

Thank you once again for reading and reviewing. I am glad you enjoyed it. It took me a few minutes to fully understand what your question was about; but the answer is basically, that the ancestry relationship and blood work are taken into consideration.
