Looking Back


No holes in jeans

and no thin

straps on shirts. Only for

girls. Teachers believe girls

are the problems for poor

attention spans.

Clothing is the tip

of endless problems.

 

Tests are just

memorizing. No

learning involved. What

we want

is comprehension. Treat

us to our potential, not

what the grades

show.

 

Challenge the norm, challenge

the way society thinks. Banned

books, but why?

What makes being

a Wallflower so bad? Or

Alaska?

Schools need to not just

challenge, but inspire.
