Dear School....

Dear school, why do we need you to get around in life?

Dear school, why do we need to go?

Dear school, why don’t you teach us valuable resources ?

Dear school, why don’t you teach us how to balance check?

Dear school, why don’t you teach us how to do taxes?

Dear school, why don’t you teach us basic skills for this world?

Dear school, why so early?

Dear school, why don’t you offer classes that would help us after highschool?

Dear school, why isn’t there more to offer to what we want to do in the world?

Dear school, why do we need to know geometry and history?

Dear school, why do you teach us skills we don’t need?

Dear school, why can’t we change classes when we want not by bells?

Dear school, we only have 8 hours to get in 6 classes or more just to learn?

Dear school, not every student is the same but you teach us all the same

Dear school, everyone needs to be taught different from each other

Dear school, we need you to hear to us 

Dear school,we need you to see us

Dear school, we need you to listen to us speak up

Dear school, don’t brush anything off if it’s serious

Dear school, don’t protect bad people

Dear school, why did you take our phones away?

Dear school, are you afraid of something everyone fears the most?

Dear school, we are afraid of a lot of a lot of things in school?

Dear school, we are afraid of harassment, bullying, and shootings

Dear school, we use our phones to make sure everyone is okay

Dear school, we have family, sisters and brothers in school and we want to make sure they are okay if anything happens or let them know we are
