14 It was once making a weather vane for your science class, now it's dissecting a cat in Biology. My summer in 100 words or more is now my opinion of English Literature during the turn of the century. Duck-duck-goose has progressed into a volley ball match and instead of drawing the tree outside your class window, you're drawing the one outside the Fine Arts building window.

A teacher droning on about so-and-so who lived back in so-and-so adds to the scene. There will always be a class like this somewhere and you're bound to come across this kind of teacher somewhere in your lifetime sentence of education. But the teachers have their problems too. Its hard to teach the beauty of poetry when the girl in the back of the room is reading a shocking pink book with “THE WICKED HEARTS DESIRE” written across it. : A teacher, a class, some smart students, some not so smart, a blackboard with DO NOT ERASE to look at, and a desk with green chewing gum to sit on — its all academics, and it always will be.
