Each One, Teach One...

....so we're reading Macbeth in Shakespeare (they LOVE it) and I asked them to compile a list of the ways they experience tyranny and oppression in their lives so as to compare their experiences with those that the tyrant Macbeth is oppressing.

First responses were pretty expected:
Cops
Bad Influences, Friends
Drug Dealers
Schools
Liquor Stores
Gang Members
Stereotypes

And then...Ms. L said,

"Precious."
Me: "You mean the movie, based on Push?"

L: "Yeah, it made me feel like it was one of them. That I went to a school like Each One, Teach One."


To all those who've ever heard me say I wish I was Ms. Rain...

I guess I'm closer than I thought.
