Junior throws the math book in his teacher's face after realizing that it is the same book his mother used before him. He is upset at the educational system on the reservation, angry that their books have not been updated in more than thirty years. No one is ever justified in throwing something across a room. Regardless that Junior didn't mean to hit his teacher..... he did.
