Figure 1.--.

The students had quite a range of views about their schools.

School

In institutes of hierarchy,
washed over with other's influence of experience,
we search for relevance,
but are met with empty explanations

surrounded by cliches of success and performasnce,
personal expectations take the ride
to an overload of
ranked reality.

Identity is distinguished
by our standard deviations
which, we are told,
determine our destiny.

And embedded in our minds
is the need to rebel,
but instead we escape
through submission.

Rebecca Wolt, Lymphad (Cashmere High School), 1993
