Fairness. School is

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Fairness. School is

Fairness. School is an example of a place that is not fair. For example, in school today my teacher thought somebody's story was wonderful because the character had a great name. Fibrero. It's a great name, but the story stunk. School is not fair. You are probably tired of my ranting about school. Please don't get mad at me.

back to the Down to Earth

School is unfair, mainly because my math teacher is an idiot. Why would we get mad at you?

Life isn't fair, little bro. Bro? Sis? Bro-ette? I don't even know.

There are a lot of unfair things in life. Like when someone copies off you and gets a better grade. That doesn't seem fair. Or when people I treated better than others because they are popular or pretty or... Whatever people consider to make someone "better" than someone else.

Do you mind if I quote Calvin and Hobbes?  Of course you don't.

"But why isn't the world ever unfair in my favor?"

Poor Calvin.

If I tried to tell you ever single thing I thought wasn't fair at my school, ANY school, you'd be bored out of your minds. It's okay, S.E. Sometimes you've just got to rant. Especially with school related topics. But at the same time, sometimes I feel like I'm the kid who made the character Fibrero. Metaphorically. I'm no good with naming characters. I'll spend more time then anyone in my classroom on assignments where you're allowed to get creative, especially the occasional comic assignment. Some kids only care about the outside. WOW, THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD. They shouldn't be teachers. What if I just didn't do the assignment right, but I made it look nice?! Kids in my grade wouldn't notice. Some teachers wouldn't notice.

Ah, this makes no sense at all. Sorry 'bout that.
