When I was in HS, my senior english teacher loved the depressing, violent images in my poetry and writing. But then again, that was before all of the school shootings. Everyone is so god damned paranoid these days. A guy I hung out with in college got expelled from his hs becsause he forgot his back pack in the lunch room. Some teacher found it, and there was a blueprint for the school in it. Perhaps somebody should have cheked with his teachers or at least asked the guy before expelling him. Turns out he was given the blueprint of the school for an assignment he was given in one of his classes. He was supposed to design flower bed arrangements around the school.
Is this the level of competency that we want in teachers and school officials?
