CT high school student suspended for writing a poem about Sandy Hook shooter

[ShencotheMC]

whether i agree with her sentiments or not, this is wrong on SOOOOOOO many levels. so now its "wrong" to THINK different?

will things like this not lead us to the point where its "wrong" to THINK?

one, people need to calm down

two, that is a terrible poem. do they not teach proper structure in that school? and it's just all over the place. if it was well written i'd have no complaints

its art. fuck structure.

Theres structure to everything. Her rhyming was off, her thoughts didnt make sense, she was writing in a contemporary abba structure, and the rhythm of the placement of her words were off.

At least shes better than @shencothemc

At thats not by a huge margin

Why do you constantly bother me? Shouldn't you be getting ready for training camp?

Why does all that matter? It was found in her personal notebook. There was no reason to follow a structure or put it in a way where the public can understand

I read until the end of the poem; forgot what the thread was about and felt the need to express how shitty I thought it was. She must be stopped...

from writing anymore poems.

its art. fuck structure.

if it's gonna be free verse, then have it all be free verse, don't have random rhyme schemes thrown in. not everything is art, some are just an attempt at art. not saying she should stop writing or anything, just giving an honest assessment of her work

objective critique is not an attack

im not saying you're attacking her, i'm saying the critique is redundant. you judged her intelligence from a poem that she didn't release to the public.

i think the actual story here is a student getting suspended over intellectual property because her teacher invaded her privacy

edit: and i think you meant objective criticism.. im just saynnnnnnn....

If its her first class then the primary concern

is just gettin a student open enough to express

thoughts...not first them into a box of structure.

If she were in an MFA program you'd be right but she's

17 in high school pimpin. It does suck though...but she

17, was it supposed to be good?

get out yo feelings hoe, you responded to me and i responded back. can we not just have a discussion and disagree at the same time?

y you been so mad lately?

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

dead at the irony of a 17 year old black girl understanding a mental insane suburban white killer who took advantage of the right to have assult rifles and hundreds of rounds of extended clip ammo.

the poem shoulda been some i don't understand why a mother teaches her mentally disable and socially awkward child to the gun range to shoot assult rifles as a way to "teach discipline" as a family friend said.

I did have a discussion with you. I had just disagreed with you that I was correcting her grammar, when in fact it was the structure of her poem.

I aint mad, darling.

You are mad though because you cant handle being wrong yo bad.

i never said she was dumb or speculated on her intelligence in any manner, just gave my opinion on the quality of her work

no, critique works well too

i didn't say it was supposed to be great, although i have seen pretty great work from young kids her age before. she should keep at it, but you can only improve with constructive criticism. everyone telling you it's great when it's not won't make you get better

Ive seen a lot of great work from teens her age and younger.

The Louder than a Bomb competition in the Chi folk be snappin

off hard as hell...a lot better than me at that age. Straight spoken

word prodigy.

There's a fine line...I dont recall anyone sayin her shit is great...but I wouldnt

tell her it sucks. Poetry any work of literature is always in need of revision

and work.

rhyme formats...styles are just opinions on ways of communicating

they help a writer get better in the same way pruning a bush helps it

grow. Tellin a young writer they suck is like indiscriminately hacking

at that same bush. Its a fine process sometimes you gotta suck before

get better.

Goddamn somalian and a perfectionista. Niggas cant win.

no one said she had to be robert frost in this bitch, but she could at least pick one type of poem and stick to it.

you can't write a haiku with 20 syllables and still call it a haiku

I was trying to tell these nignogs that. She was trying to write in a contemporary abba format and failed at it.

They teach you poetry structure in high school and give you a format on how to write better.

Shes not the best but dammit it was not thought-provoking to be kicked out of school.

If she had turned in work like this before, then her english teacher needs to be spoken too on the trash s/he allowed her to write.
