I have to stop smiling. I also realize that I was lucky that my student's mother allowed me to leave him after school. I can't imagine the consequences if I publicly promised him in front of everyone that he would stay after school, and then I couldn't keep my "threat" due to my parents' disagreement. But I obviously solved the situation badly, because a similar situation was repeated for another hour. He got four from a paper he didn't learn.
