There was a place to keep potted plants
a way of disposing troublemakers
those who always sat in hind rows
in Biology class...surrounded by strange glassware
lectures had to continue..so did timetables
some wanted to learn and listen
didn't mind biological ramblings
others had to disturb continuously
wasn't you could put someone with the plants
and expect that he would reform,
reshape their destracted ways
without channeling their energeries
into constructive thought patterns
without being given them tools to grasp...
but plant rooms were convenient places to deposit offenders
will there be an ernest overall of urban educational settings
or will the dump into plant rooms continue?
will reform in the classrooms take place
or will students be deposited in leafy places
as if expected to grow roots and branches?

An earnest overhaul is needed. So true.
Please, no more dumping.
They are people, not plants.
They think, they dream.
They....emote.

Good thoughts, ecrivan.

ecrivan...A very good topic.
Well sir I believe we need to feed the youth of today, so their minds will grow.
A mind is to valuable to waste...Paul

Let's start at the city level then and make sure our representatives actually put educational reform into place
