Snails is not the most remarkable of ponies, but he's not much of a troublemaker. He's not overly rude, he's not a loudmouth, he's not a bad student...

Well, he wasn't a bad student. But everypony slips up now and again, it doesn't mean anything. Snails just needs to work harder and study more. A little less time reading comic books, a little more time doing serious schoolwork, and everything'll be fine. He might even just quit reading comic books altogether. It's not like it does anything useful for him.

After all, why do something you know is just a waste of time?
