>It was going fairly well, until Dr Steven Giavant stepped into a classroom and wanted to teach the students the frontiers and history of math.

The way you wrote this it feels like you're about to say that Giavant tanked the program, and your parenthetical is sarcasm. I don't think that was your intent, but you may want to be aware in the future (and it could be an issue with the reader, of course.)

that's because Dr Steven Giavant was great at math, but nobody was teaching the kids english comp.

I was about to google "Steven Giavant" to see what flavor of serial killer he was.

Totally expected that comment to take a much darker turn.
