Welcome, students!
Where are we?
School.
It feels like we’re nowhere.
Oh, no, we’re at school, learning.
Learning?
That’s what you’re doing right now.
It doesn’t feel like we’re learning.
Oh, but you are, at a faster rate than any other school.
Okay.
Now, students, its time for Physical.
Now what are we doing?
Physical.
But we still aren’t doing anything.
Well, we’re all done, students, back to learning.

Where am I supposed to go?
To college.
I can’t if I don’t learn anything.
That’s your problem, students, because it’s not our fault if you don’t learn; it’s your behavioral issues that are holding you back, and your independence, and your personality, and especially your clothing.
But…
Bye, students.

  Awww man - same comments as 'two' basically. I didn't want to give a thumbs down, but only wanted to give a 'half' thumbs up. While I identify with the 'story' - yes I was once in school - it is a straight forward story and doesn't really make me relive the feelings - I feel you need some poweful imagery or metaphors to more forcebly make people think about school!
