"If We Want Our Children to Grow into Socially and Emotionally Capable Young People We Must Ask For A Balanced Education"


The artwork that goes along with poem is amazing, it's just enough to represent everything that he is saying. I enjoy that each piece flows into the next. My favorite line includes, "At school they get a taste of what things are like in the world outside. There's friendship, romance, disappointment, embarrassment, discrimination, and bullying." It's true thinking back that I did learn all things at school, in fact the hardest place in my life was when I was in school. I enjoy that this poem was about stopping bullying too, but it was more of an inspiration poem to encourage change in the world. The "To This Day" poem that he performed was the same way but it was more passionate, it involved yelling and drastic movements, this one was more relaxed. It was like I was approached by a person who is coming to me and pleading their case calmly versus anger.
