They expect us to make it from one side of the school to the other in under 5 min. We are not cheetahs it is extremely hard to get from one side of the school to another side while carrying 15 pounds on our backs.
Redress of Grievances
An adult that doesn't understand the young adults of this century in not fit to be in charge of them. We as young adults have tried to work around these issues we have compromised many hours of our leisure times to get all our school work done. We have done everything that was asked of us with much of a fight. We have been responsible for maintaining grades and trying our hardest in school to achieve the high expectation already set for us although many of these expectations are almost unrealistic for 16-year-old to achieve.
