THIS POEM IS COOL

"But they don't want them to know anything about real science because then they will lose their faith and become secular humanists" The language and the way that this sentence was just written is awesome. It talks about what schools don't want you do do. I feel as though it has a rythmn to it. That these words flow together. The meaning of these words is what schools want and don't us to learn.
This reminded me of how schools want us to be creative but they still don't teach us certain things in fear that we might learn something new or different that isn't socially acceptable. It made me feel that it's the truth that school like certain things to be taught and not taught in schools. I think that this poem basically just wants people to think for themselves and I agree with that.

  1. this was one of my favorites as well. I agree with most of want the author is writing about be i think there some of it that doesn't need to be there. The poem makes you think about how we learn and what people want us to be. I think people do need to learn to think for themselves.

  2. I like it Danny! This line really stood out to me too, I felt like that is so true but science does a lot of the time cause people to question their faith. It does not cause me but it really is a large debate in schools still to this day on how to teach kids science without compromising their faith.
