and how sad is that?

i think we can cuz i always say what i want in skool but i get in trouble 4 it tho

yea and thats part of it. how can they punish someone off of their personal opinion? it seems wrong to me

me too.. i mean, there's a time and a place..but most of you know that. and there's respect, of course. but, as a teacher,

you have to give respect to get respect

that how people can't express some of their great opinions is sad, but alas it does happen a lot in society because of preordained ideas

and prejudices that are drilled into our heads at birth and has been going on for centuries. We will never be able to totally obliterate it

but we as a society have been getting more tolerant about things, but it won't ever stop because of the sheer amount of time in history

that it has been going on.

yea i agree with you heather, its just sad that we're not at that part yet in society that we can freely share what we really believe

yeah it is sad, sad but true =[

no one really takes you seriously untill you are like 30

hahaha...i love that that's the number!! do you guys think people take me seriously? i'm not 30 btw!!

haha we have to, your our teacher.lol

but i hate how that is. adults think so low of teenagers and they dont realize what we're capable of. all through this book it keeps

reminding us of that idea and the book proves how rediculous a theroy that is. just look how central ended up!

so true...seems like we should have more confidence in you. i think adults just assume that you need guidance, when that's not always

the case...sometimes, but not always.

yea. they shoudl be there to help us along if we *need* it but otherwise we're at that age where we need to become independent thinkers

and they need to realize that
