WRITERS WEEK

Oh my goodness. Don't even get me started on the stupid writer's week policies!
Our school brags that "we're the only high school that has famous writers come in and speak to the students" but then they don't even allow us to go when we want to...

My mom called me out to see Mary Fons last year. My mom told to truth, and told the attendants office that I was going to writer's week. She said "If there's a problem, please call me." I never got a call from my mom telling me they said no, so I went. And what do you think happened? I got sent down to the office for a truancy. If students are being inspired, they should be allowed to go... And when the administrators talked to my mom they talked like they were degrading writers week. Their tone was that it was a worthless thing...

I heard Mr. Wenkowski's lame poem today, but you better believe I'm still getting called out tomorrow to see Mary Fons. Based on what happened last year, the administrators taught me to lie, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do...
