On the first day of school, Wade points out that Lorna doesn’t do well in classes because they don’t move fast enough for her; she usually just sits in class and reads on her own. Jesse is one of the few Indians to attend the school, and the other students stare at him. Wade and Jesse find out that they have a few classes together and begin their day. After lunch, they hang out on the senior steps. When a younger student approaches the steps, one of the seniors gives him a hard time.
Jack Williams, son of Peter Williams, had been attending Antonine College since pre-school. At the age of 3 when he started pre-school, he didn't know why he was going and who everyone was, so he kept to himself all along. When he started prep at the age 5, his teacher was giving him constant exit notes (they are papers which tell teachers that he is trouble and will have to suffer some sort of consequnce) yet he wasn't causing any trouble at all. He was blamed for all the trouble that some students caused in his class. In grade 1, he started to being verbally bullied and was told to do things he didn't want to do by the year 6 students, such as swearing in Arabic at the nuns who run the school, pulling his pants down in front of the teachers, skinny dipping during the swimming carnival and so much more.

I observed him throughout the day and within the first ten minutes of the class it was obvious that Mrs. Saenz, his Math teacher had a history with this student’s behavior. I observed how the teacher was giving them instructions for their first lesson. She asked the children if they had any questions in regards to the lesson. John and several other children raised their hands. She answered a few questions from several students and stated that everyone should know what they are doing and to start on their assignment.
The day she found out her father had been shot and placed in a coma, one she was told he may never awake. Her heart rate increased as she’d waited for the bad news to come. PC Dawson took a deep breath and explained how they’d been called out on a job and shot in the middle of a drug bust. Covering her mouth, she started to whimper before her legs gave way beneath her and the darkness enveloped her. She prayed for hours every morning and night of everyday hoping that he would wake up to wipe away her tears and tell her everything

We’ve all seen the typical classroom, rows of desks and chairs, a blackboard w/ chalk and educational posters. In my opinion, classrooms are very bleak and boring places of learning. Students sit for an hour a day trying to comprehend what the teacher at the front of the board is writing and trying to explain. At some point in that long hour they zone out into their own little world and forget by the time the bell rings what they were supposed to learn. John Holt writes in his essay “School Is Bad for Children,” explains “We need to get kids out of the school buildings, give them a chance to learn about the world at first hand.” (Holt, pg.67.)
Jing-Mei was honest because she knew she couldn’t play, but she still tried. Jing-Mei gave up and she confronted her mom that she can’t play the piano. Amy and David were friends since they were 12, but now Amy is a whole new person. While David was in his room thinking her thought to himself, “But she hardly spoke to me at school, ever.” (Kretscher 207). Amy is two-faced in this situation because she would spend her summer hanging out with David, but in school she will act like he is a total stranger.
