I am unique, the same as the rest of you

School is a place of contradictions.

It tells you not to worry about exams whilst stressing that they are one of the most important things in your life if you want to succeed.
It asks you to write a surprising story, but wants to see a plan first.
It balances its curriculum by putting academic achievement on both sides of the scales.
It uses your scores in SATs to judge you even though they are supposed to be a judge of the school.
It tells us that we are unique while making sure we are all dressed the same...

Children need to be free to have fun and learn in the way we want to learn. Children need to be free to be children. Children need to be free to be free.
